Abstract
Pulmonary sequestration is a rare anomaly, which does not have a connection with the bronchial system and gets its blood supply, generally, from the aorta or its branches. Anatomically, two forms were described: extralobar and intralobar which is the commoner type of pulmonary sequestration accounting for 75% of all sequestrations. Although 74% of intralobar pulmonary sequestrations get their blood supply from the descending thoracic aorta, they may get their blood supply from different arteries. Furthermore, there is more than one arterial anomaly in 14.8% of cases. We report an intralobar pulmonary sequestration, in, which arterial blood supply is from celiac trunk, with a cardiomegaly at the expense of the right atrium.
