Abstract:
We recently evaluated a premature infant with intralobar pulmonary sequestration which presented with signs of CHF. The infant initially underwent ligation of a PDA but subsequently developed tachycardia, tachypnea, and a continuous murmur which radiated to the back. The diagnosis of a pulmonary sequestration was suggested by Doppler echocardiography and confirmed by aortography. The sequestration was successfully treated by surgical removal of the involved lobe.
