Abstract:ObjectivesExtrapulmonary sequestration (EPS) within the diaphragm (ID‐EPS) is rare and requires additional procedures such as incision or detachment of the diaphragm from the lesion for diagnosis. This study aimed to describe the imaging findings and evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) for ID‐EPS.Material and MethodsSplit diaphragm sign, shape of lesion edge, drainage vein into intra‐abdomen on ultrasound and CT, and lesion characteristics on ultrasound were compare… Show more
