내엽형 폐격리증 수술 1례 보고 = Intralobar Pulmonary Sequestration A Case Report

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon congenital malformation characterized by the presence of non-functioning lung tissues which receives its blood supply from an anomalous systemic artery instead of a pulmonary arterial branch. We present a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration experienced lately. The patient was 7 years old girl with the complaints of chronic productive cough and right lower chest pain. Serial chest films showed a large cyst with or without a air-fluid level on the right lower lung field. Aortography revealed an aberrant artery originating from thoracic aorta just above the diaphragm and that drained into the right inferior pulmonary vein. During operation, a large abscess cavity measuring 6.5x5x5 cm in dimension at the right lower lobe was noted. And the two aberrant arteries, measuring 3 mm in diameter, arising from thoracic aorta 5 cm above the diaphragm was noted. After division and ligation of the aberrant arteries, right lower lobectomy was performed and the patient`s postoperative course was uneventful.
