title: [Pulmonary sequestration in infants: diagnosis and therapy exemplified by a newborn infant].
abstract: Infants with intra- or extralobular lung-sequestrations normally suffer from chronic infections. In our case an infant is described who had a triangular area in chest X-rays behind the heart. Lung scintigraphy and computer-tomography could not commit the diagnosis. Only invasive angiography showed the sequestration. Although without symptoms the baby was operated preventively. Postoperative course was without complications.
