Intralobar pulmonary sequestration: MR evaluation. 1987

D P Naidich, and W M Rumancik, and R S Lefleur, and M R Estioko, and S M Brown

This report documents the use of magnetic resonance (MR) in evaluation of intralobar pulmonary sequestration. Because of its distinctive multiplanar capabilities and nonreliance on contrast media to visualize blood vessels, MR can be used to define and characterize the size and course of anomalous arterial feeding vessels. Furthermore, MR can be of value in detecting the presence of mucoid-impacted bronchi within abnormal segments of the lung. It is concluded that in select cases MR may obviate the need for more invasive procedures to establish the diagnosis of pulmonary sequestration.

D001998 Bronchopulmonary Sequestration A developmental anomaly in which a mass of nonfunctioning lung tissue lacks normal connection with the tracheobroncheal tree and receives an anomalous blood supply originating from the descending thoracic or abdominal aorta. The mass may be extralobar, i.e., completely separated from normally connected lung, or intralobar, i.e., partly surrounded by normal lung.
