Pulmonary sequestration is a rare, mostly sporadic disorder, with an incidence of 0.1–6% of all congenital lung malformations. It is also called as bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (BPFM) or accessory lung. A 16-day-old female child presented with vomiting and inability to take feeds. She was investigated further and differentials included foregut duplication cyst and BPFM. Surgical exploration confirmed the diagnosis of a BPFM. Delay in diagnosis may lead to complications such as torsion and sepsis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
