Diagnosis and management of intradiaphragmatic extralobar pulmonary sequestration: a report of 11 cases.
Evaluate the diagnosis and management of intradiaphragmatic extralobar pulmonary sequestration (IDEPS). We retrospectively reviewed cases of bronchopulmonary sequestrations (BPS) diagnosed in our hospital from March 2011 to May 2014, in order to identify patients with IDEPS. Diagnosis of IDEPS was confirmed using prenatal Doppler ultrasound, postnatal intravascular enhanced computed tomography, and surgery. The 11 cases diagnosed with IDEPSs were confirmed with histopathology. In our first case we did not find any mass from abdominal surgery; we then turned to transthoracic surgery. Three patients underwent thoracoscopy, and seven underwent thoracotomy. IDEPS is better approached through the chest. Thoracoscopy in experienced hands a favorable approach.
