[Intralobular pulmonary sequestration: apropos a case].
The authors report their experience with a patient suffering from an intralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration (IBS). The lesion was misdiagnosed as metapneumonic lung abscess. IBS is a rare, diagnostically binding lung congenital malformation. So far, TC and MR angiography achieve pathognomonic findings with low invasivity. The best treatment of IBS could be surgical resection.
