[Cardiac failure due to isolated pulmonary sequestration. Description of a clinical case in the neonatal period].

Pulmonary Sequestration is a congenital anomaly rarely seen in the pediatric age. Clinical manifestations commonly appear with a respiratory symptomatology and less frequently with cardiac signs especially in the case of an associated congenital heart disease. In the presented case, isolated Pulmonary Sequestration manifested itself as a congestive heart failure, and a diastolic overloading of the left ventricle. After surgical removal of the Sequestration was demonstrated a normalization of both clinical and haemodynamic findings.
