Summary

Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a rare congenital lung malformation. Noninvasive imaging like CT and MRI now allow for easy preoperative diagnosis, reducing the need for invasive angiography.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pulmonology
  • Congenital Malformations

Background:

  • Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a congenital lung malformation characterized by nonfunctioning lung tissue separate from the normal tracheobronchial tree.
  • This anomalous tissue receives its blood supply from the systemic circulation, distinguishing it from typical lung anatomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the spectrum of radiological findings associated with bronchopulmonary sequestration.
  • To highlight the utility of noninvasive imaging modalities in the preoperative diagnosis of BPS.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of radiological findings in patients diagnosed with BPS.
  • Analysis of imaging characteristics from computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Main Results:

  • BPS presents with diverse imaging findings across a spectrum.
  • Noninvasive techniques like CT and MRI facilitate straightforward preoperative diagnosis of BPS.
  • The need for invasive angiography has significantly decreased due to advanced noninvasive imaging.

Conclusions:

  • Preoperative diagnosis of BPS is readily achievable using noninvasive imaging techniques.
  • Surgical treatment is the standard for BPS, necessitating accurate preoperative delineation of vascular supply and drainage.
  • Modern imaging obviates the frequent need for invasive procedures like angiography in BPS evaluation.
