      Abstract

      Pulmonary sequestration occurs when some disturbance produces a cystic mass of nonfunctioning lung tissue which lacks normal communication with the tracheobronchial tree. In most cases the sequestered pulmonary tissue receives its blood supply from anomalous systemic vessels. This paper considers 15 children, 11 boys and four girls, ranging in age from one day to 14 years, with ten extralobar sequestrations and five intralobar pulmonary sequestrations. Although roentgenographic examination of the chest may suggest the diagnosis, conclusive diagnosis can only be obtained by arteriography and/or surgical exploration. Arteriography is strongly advocated in all cases, not only for its diagnostic value, but for its preoperative localization of the aberrant blood vessels that are the major technical concern to the surgeon.
