Abstract
Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital disorder that is often asymptomatic until adulthood, when it typically presents as recurrent pulmonary infections. We present the case of a 33-year-old female who experienced repeated episodes of lung abscesses in the right lung and was ultimately diagnosed with pulmonary sequestration. Despite extended courses of antibiotic treatment for each infection, her clinical symptoms recurred, necessitating surgical intervention. This case highlights the importance of considering structural lung abnormalities in patients with recurrent pneumonia and demonstrates the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing such cases.
