We describe a 5-month old infant who presented with a continuous murmur and enlargement of the left heart. The patient's diagnosis was an anomalous systemic arterial supply to basal segments of the left lower lobe characterized by a lack of a pulmonary arterial supply. This condition was treated without lobectomy. To our knowledge, this report is the first to describe an anomalous systemic arterial supply to basal segments of the lower lobe of the left lung with a single arterial supply that was treated in childhood without lung resection. Our case offers an alternative treatment to surgical lobectomy for this abnormality.
我们描述了一名5个月大的婴儿，其表现为持续性杂音和左心扩大。该患者的诊断为左下叶基底段异常体动脉供血，其特征是缺乏肺动脉供血。该病症未行肺叶切除术即得到治疗。据我们所知，本报告首次描述了左肺下叶基底段单一动脉供血的异常体动脉供血情况，且该病例在儿童期未经肺切除即得到治疗。我们的病例为此类异常提供了一种替代手术肺叶切除术的治疗方法。
