Abstract:
A 21-year-old man who had a history of pneumonia twice presented with chest discomfort. Computed tomography( CT) revealed dilatation of the atretic bronchus that was not continuous with the proximal one, and surrounding hyper-lucent lung fields in the outer and mediastinal sides of the right basal segment, and the absence of B10b+c. CT also demonstrated the presence of A10b+c in the former field and the aberrant artery from the inferior phrenic artery in the latter. Right basal segmentectomy was performed under the diagnosis of congenital bronchial atresia and intralobar sequestration. Pathological diagnosis accorded with preoperative one.
