Pulmonary sequestration is a rare occurrence. Here, we present a case of a 45-year-old female who, on CT scan of the chest, was found to have a left lower lobe consolidation. Despite antibiotic treatment, the consolidation remained persistent. On repeat imaging with CT scan with contrast, it was found that the consolidation was pulmonary sequestration. The patient was referred to cardiothoracic surgery to remove pulmonary sequestration through video-associated thoracoscopic surgery.
肺隔离症是一种罕见的病症。在此,我们报告一例45岁女性病例,其胸部CT扫描发现左肺下叶实变。尽管进行了抗生素治疗,但实变持续存在。在重复进行的增强CT扫描成像中,发现该实变是肺隔离症。该患者被转诊至心胸外科,通过电视辅助胸腔镜手术切除肺隔离症。
