Pulmonary sequestration: a retrospective analysis of 2625 cases in China

Abstract

Clinical manifestations of pulmonary sequestration varied and preoperative diagnosis was often incorrect. To improve the preoperative diagnosis rate, we should take full advantage of symptoms, image performance, and localization characteristics. A certain early-onset age, recurrent pneumonias, mass or cyst lesion located in the lower lobe, and aberrant arterial supply are indicators for the diagnosis.
