Abstract
Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital malformation of the lower respiratory tract characterized by non-functional lung tissue lacking communication with the tracheobronchial tree and supplied by an aberrant systemic artery, most often arising from the aorta. Although typically diagnosed in childhood, PS may occasionally be discovered in adults, often incidentally or during evaluation for recurrent respiratory symptoms. Radiologic imaging, particularly contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), is essential for diagnosis and surgical planning. We report a case series of five adult patients with pulmonary sequestration.
