Intradiaphragmatic extralobar sequestration-a rare pulmonary anomaly

J Pediatr Surg. 2009 Dec;44(12):e27-9. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2009.09.026.

Abstract

Extralobar pulmonary sequestrations are most commonly found within the thoracic cavity, but have been described within the abdomen. We present the case of a 16-month-old boy with an intradiaphragmatic pulmonary sequestration and demonstrate a computed tomographic scan finding that might help identify this extremely rare abnormality preoperatively.
