ABSTRACT
Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a rare congenital malformation characterized by nonfunctional lung tissue that lacks communication with the tracheobronchial tree and receives blood supply from an aberrant systemic artery. It accounts for 0.15% to 6.4% of congenital pulmonary malformations. BPS is classified into intralobar and extralobar types, with clinical manifestations varying by age: from incidental findings in adults to severe respiratory distress and fetal hydrops in neonates. Prenatal suspicion arises through Doppler ultrasound or structural fetal screening, with contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography being the diagnostic method of choice. Surgical resection remains the standard treatment.In this paper we describe the case of a neonate with intralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration, detailing its clinical course, diagnosis, and treatment.
