[Hemoptysis with intralobar pulmonary sequestration].
Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation of the pulmonary parenchyma. A case of recurrent haemoptysis and pulmonary infections in an adult is presented. Arteriography was required to identify the aberrant vessel preoperatively. Thoracotomy confirmed an intralobar sequestration type. Anatomical classification, symptoms, and diagnostic approach are discussed. Symptomatic patients benefit from surgical resection.
