Pulmonary sequestration
Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is defined as a segment of lung
parenchyma separated from the bronchial tree.
The affected lung parenchyma receives its blood supply from
anomalous systemic arteries, usually the abdominal or
thoracic aorta.
The venous drainage of the sequestrated lung is via azygos
system, pulmonary veins or inferior vena cava.
Usually there is no communication between the sequester and
tracheobronchial tree.
PS is divided into two types:
1. Extralobar
2. Intralobar
![Page 4: Lung sequestration and Scimitar syndrome sequestration... · 2013-11-25 · Lung sequestration and Scimitar syndrome Imaging approaches M. Mearadji ... Chest X-ray film 14 Sonography](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012921/5f0562377e708231d412b0e9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Extralobar sequestration (ELS)
ELS is a mass of abnormal lung tissue that is surrounded by its own separate pleura.
It is located in posterior lower chest, 90% on the left side.
Association with congenital hernia, congenital heart diseases and adenoid cystic malformation are reported.
Arterial supply from systemic circulation, venous drainage in azygos.
![Page 5: Lung sequestration and Scimitar syndrome sequestration... · 2013-11-25 · Lung sequestration and Scimitar syndrome Imaging approaches M. Mearadji ... Chest X-ray film 14 Sonography](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012921/5f0562377e708231d412b0e9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Intralobar sequestration (ILS)
ILS is contained within the lung and has a visceral pleura covering.
It is ultimately connected to adjacent lung
98% is located within the lower lobe.
Usually contains air or air-fluid-levels when infection is present.
The sharing of pleural covering with normal lung and venous draining in pulmonary vein is typical.
![Page 6: Lung sequestration and Scimitar syndrome sequestration... · 2013-11-25 · Lung sequestration and Scimitar syndrome Imaging approaches M. Mearadji ... Chest X-ray film 14 Sonography](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012921/5f0562377e708231d412b0e9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Diagnostic approaches
PS is seen on prenatal sonographam as a hyperechoic mass but can disappear on chestfilm in postnatal period.
Color Doppler sonography is useful for demonstrating anomalous vessels to trace them to their origin.
Extralobular PS manifests itself as congenital mass on chestfilm or sonography.
Intralobar PS on chestfilm can be recognized as a soft tissue mass with or without cystic or fluid levels following recurrent infections.
The abnormal vascularity of PS is easily demonstrated by CT or MRI, however the CTA is superior to other imaging procedures.

Diagnostic approaches
In the differential diagnosis of lung sequestration
the following other congenital anomalies should be
considered.
1. Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation
2. Bronchogenic cysts
3. Scimitar syndrome
The vascularity of Scimitar syndrome and PS are
nearly similar. Therefore both anomalies are
discussed in this presentation.

Scimitar syndrome
The clinical manifestation and prognosis of scimitar
syndrome depends on the amount of the resulting
left/right shunt.
40% of the patients are asymptomatic.
In unrecognized cases the clinical symptoms
usually manifest in the second to third decade of life
with fatigue and dyspnea.
![Page 20: Lung sequestration and Scimitar syndrome sequestration... · 2013-11-25 · Lung sequestration and Scimitar syndrome Imaging approaches M. Mearadji ...

Scimitar syndrome
The diagnosis is based on chest radiograph, the venous anomaly may be visible with a hypoventilated right lung.
Doppler sonography may document the site of entry of anomalous pulmonary vein.
CTA and MRA both can detect the vascular anatomy and bronchial abnormalities.
Cardioangiography is indicated in cases with a large shunt and additional heart anomalies with the possibility of venous occlusion procedure.

![Page 26: Lung sequestration and Scimitar syndrome sequestration... · 2013-11-25 · Lung sequestration and Scimitar syndrome Imaging approaches M. Mearadji ... Chest X-ray film 14 Sonography](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012921/5f0562377e708231d412b0e9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Conclusion I
Any persisting posterior medial basal consolidation should raise the suspicion of sequestrated segment.
An extralobar sequestrated lung manifest itself mostly in neonates as nonaerated intrathoracic mass.
Nowadays most fetal lung abnormalities, such as sequestration are detected prenatally by sonography.
Sequestration may incidentally communicate with the gastrointestinal tract.
![Page 27: Lung sequestration and Scimitar syndrome sequestration... · 2013-11-25 · Lung sequestration and Scimitar syndrome Imaging approaches M. Mearadji ... Chest X-ray film 14 Sonography](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012921/5f0562377e708231d412b0e9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Conclusion II
Multidetector CTA is superior to all other modalities.
Right-sided hypogenic lung with dextroposition of
heart on chestfilm is highly suspected for Scimitar
syndrome.
Cardioangiography is the modality of choice in
Scimitar syndrome.
