BASANTA BERGOLLA, Denenke1; SALINAS VAZQUEZ, Pablo y FERNANDEZ-MARADIAGA, Junior. Intralobar pulmonary sequestration. Rev cubana med [online]. 2020, vol.59, n.2, e890. Epub 01-Jun-2020. ISSN 0034-7523.
Pulmonary sequestration is a rare and important congenital malformation of the lower respiratory tract. In children and adults, it usually presents with severe chronic or repeated lung infections. A case of a female 19-year-old patient who had recurrent lower respiratory sepsis is reported. Homogeneous opacity was evident in the chest imaging studies in the right hemithorax. She underwent surgery. A lower right lobectomy was performed, which was diagnostic for pulmonary sequestration, with satisfactory evolution.
Palabras clave : intralobar pulmonary sequestration; congenital malformations; recurrent respiratory infection.
