[Early diagnosis and early treatment of a patient with intralobular pulmonary sequestration].
A report is given on a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration (I. L. S), which was hospitalized with the suspect diagnosis of a cavernous tuberculous infection. The 3 6/12-year-old boy was suffering of recurrent respiratory infections. These led finally to a thoracic X-ray control. X-rays showed a cystic malformation of the left lower lobe. This localisation drew our attention especially to I. L. S. after exclusion of various other diagnostic possibilities. For this reason a retrograde aortography was carried out and showed an abnormal blood supply of the cyst from the thoracic aorta. So this procedure established the diagnosis. Because of the high pulmonary and cardiac complication rate, a surgical treatment, as early as possible, is the therapy of choice. In our case the segmental resection was sufficient.
