[Ruptured bronchial artery aneurysm simulating dissection of the aorta in a patient with bronchopulmonary sequestration (author's transl)]. 1981

D Abet, and J Pietri

A patient with bronchopulmonary sequestration presented a clinical picture of dissection of the aorta following rupture of a bronchial artery aneurysm. Because of the rare nature of this type of lesion comments are limited to a description of the clinical history, angiographic images, surgical procedures, and operative findings in this case, these raising questions that cannot always be answered.

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.
