Abstract
Typical changes of lung sequestration, including the scimitar sign, were seen on plain films in the left lower lobe. At aortography vasculature of a pulmonary sequestration was seen located paravertebrally in the left posterobasal segment. The arterial supply arose from a division of the thoracic aorta above the diaphragm; venous drainage was to the pulmonary veins. No pulmonary parenchymal changes were detected in the sequestration after resection, nor was there an extrapleural component of the sequestration.
