title: [Diagnosis and surgical treatment of pulmonary sequestration].
abstract: The article reported 7 cases of pulmonary sequestration diagnosed by B-mode ultrasound and retrograde arteriography preoperatively, and was proved by operation. 6 cases were intralobar type & 1 case extralobar type. 7 cases underwent ultrasound examination and 6 cases retrograde arteriography before operation. The 7 patients underwent operation in which lobectomy was done in 6 cases and cystectomy in one. The clinical roentgenological and ultrasound characteristics and the key points of operative technique were discussed in the article. The author stressed that B-mode ultrasound could make an important contribution to preoperative diagnosis of pulmonary sequestration by demonstrating the nature of the mass and its vascular supply.
