Abstract

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare entity comprising a small portion of all congenital pulmonary malformations which is characterized by aberrant formation of nonfunctional lung tissue that has no communication with the bronchial tree and receives systemic arterial blood supply. We reviewed three cases, who presented to CTVS Department at GMC Jammu each of which presented with cough, expectoration and hemoptysis and were subsequently diagnosed as intralobar pulmonary sequestration (ILS). The aim of this case series is to increase awareness about the condition and to review criteria of its definitive diagnosis and subsequent treatment.
