Extralobar lung sequestration associated with fatal neonatal respiratory distress

Abstract

The radiological and pathological findings of lung sequestration in a premature infant are described. There was a left-sided variant of the extralobar type with double systemic arterial blood supply, single systemic venous drainage, and an incomplete bronchial tree for the remainder of the left lung.

Neonatal pleural effusion associated with pulmonary sequestration: A case report
