Scimitar Syndrome is part of a complex spectrum of congenital cardiovascular anomalies related to anomalous pulmonary venous return. Depending on the extent of involvement, treatment can be either expectant or surgical. Prognosis and survival have been controversial, with some results supporting early surgical management. This research aims to disclose the outcomes and describe the management, clinical and imaging characteristics of patients diagnosed with Scimitar Syndrome treated in a tertiary referral healthcare center...

BACKGROUND: Horseshoe lung is a rare congenital malformation in which the lung protrudes from the mediastinum to the other side. Owing to the high frequency of other fatal cardiovascular complications, it is often diagnosed in childhood and rarely unnoted until adulthood. We report a case of horseshoe lung in an older patient who underwent thoracotomy. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a 69-year-old man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and a history of heavy smoking...

PERFORMANCE: Congenital pulmonary malformations (CPM) are rare and can be associated with high morbidity. Clinical presentation, diagnostic procedures, imaging, and therapy of CPM are discussed. ACHIEVEMENTS: Today, most CPM can be diagnosed prenatally by ultrasound. Postnatally, respiratory symptoms up to respiratory failure and recurrent lower respiratory tract infection are typical findings. Due to low diagnostic accuracy of chest x‑ray in CPM, all children with prenatal diagnosis of CPM or postnatally suspected CPM should undergo cross-sectional imaging...

BACKGROUND: Foetal thoracic lesions are uncommon, with the incidence of 1 in 15,000 live births. Antenatal monitoring of these lesions is required to prognosticate the parents about the postnatal outcome of the lesions and about the well-being of the baby. Foetal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the modalities to detect these lesions and follow-up during pregnancy and postnatally. Congenital pulmonary adenomatoid malformations (CPAM), congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and bronchopulmonary sequestrations (BPS) are the commonly detected foetal thoracic lesions...

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by noncommunicative lung tissue supplied by an abnormal systemic vessel. We present a case of a 30-year-old male with intralobar PS, receiving arterial supply from the celiac artery, manifesting as massive hemoptysis. After urgent stabilization, endovascular embolization using polyvinyl alcohol particles was successfully employed. The patient's symptoms resolved, and follow-up confirmed satisfactory recovery. Our case underscores the diverse arterial origins of PS and the efficacy of endovascular embolization as a minimally invasive treatment...

Pulmonary sequestration and cystic pulmonary adenomatoid malformation are rare congenital cystic disorders of the lungs. The presence of both the diseases in the same individual is therefore very uncommon. Pulmonary sequestration is a nonfunctional pulmonary tissue mass that derives its blood supply from systemic blood supply other than pulmonary circulation. Congenital cystic pulmonary adenomatoid malformation represents a mass consisting of abnormal bronchiolar air spaces and a deficiency of functional alveoli...

Background: Structured light plethysmography (SLP) is a novel light-based method that captures chest wall movements to evaluate tidal breathing. Methods: Thirty-two children who underwent lung surgery were enrolled. Their clinical history was collected along with spirometry and SLP. Results: Median age of surgery was 9 months (interquartile range 4-30). Most frequent diagnosis was congenital pulmonary airway malformation (14/32), then pulmonary sequestration (9/32), tumor (5/32), and bronchogenic cyst (4/32)...

The occurrence of simultaneous extralobar pulmonary sequestration, esophageal duplication, and bronchogenic cysts is relatively low. We report the case of a 9-month-old Chinese child who had a right lung cyst, detected in utero and was closely monitored until birth. At age 9 months, contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed right mediastinal extralobar pulmonary sequestration and two cysts. The patient did not exhibit any abnormalities. However, the parents were concerned about the disease. Following positive psychological counseling to the parents, surgery was the strong desire...

A 59-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital for further examinations and treatment due to an abnormal shadow detected in his left lower lung lobe on computed tomography. The patient was diagnosed with intralobar pulmonary sequestration and scheduled for an operation. During the surgery, after resection of the aberrant artery, indocyanine green was intravenously injected, and the border between normal lung and sequestrated lung was clearly identified by an infrared thoracoscope. Subsequently, wedge resection was performed, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 5...

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital anomaly that accounts for 1% to 6% of all pulmonary malformations at birth. It is characterized by a focal area of pulmonary tissue that does not have direct communication with the tracheobronchial tree and does not get blood supply from the pulmonary circulation. We present the case of a 28-year-old female with a history of recurrent pulmonary infections who was found to have intralobar sequestration and underwent curative surgical excision. Because pulmonary sequestration is commonly misdiagnosed, as it can mimic other conditions on chest X-rays, this case illustrates the importance of recognizing pulmonary sequestration as a separate entity and diagnosing/treating it appropriately...

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to evaluate pulmonary sequestration (PS). We report on location, blood supply, histology, clinical manifestation, and surgical treatment of PS, as well as on postoperative course in patients with PS. BACKGROUND: PS is a rare congenital defect of the lower respiratory tract, it represents locus minoris resistentiae of the body. Occasionally, PS is diagnosed for the first time in adulthood. METHODS: We evaluated 7 cases of PS treated at the Centre of Thoracic Surgery in Vyšné Hágy, Slovakia, between years 2013 and 2020...

INTRODUCTION: Over the years, congenital lung malformations (CLM) management remains a controversial topic in pediatric thoracic surgery. The Italian Society of Pediatric Surgery performed a national survey to study the current management variability among centers, trying to define national guidelines and a standardized approach of children with congenital lung malformations. METHODS: Following a National Society approval, an electronic survey including 35 items on post-natal management was designed, focusing on surgical, anesthesiology, radiology and pneumology aspects...

The features of intralobar pulmonary sequestration vary on computed tomography (CT). Many cases demonstrate a mass or cystic lesion within a lower lobe. We report herein a case of a 55-year-old, female patient presenting with right back pain. Contrast enhanced (CE) CT revealed multiple, nodular, pulmonary lesions suggesting recurrent infections with surrounding focal emphysema. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction demonstrated a sequestrated lung segment with a systemic, arterial blood supply. Based on these findings, intralobar pulmonary sequestration was diagnosed...

BACKGROUND: Malaria-associated acute lung injury (MA-ALI) is a well-recognized clinical complication of severe, complicated malaria that is partly driven by sequestrations of infected red blood cells (iRBCs) on lung postcapillary induced impaired blood flow. In earlier studies the mechanosensitive Piezo1 channel emerged as a regulator of mechanical stimuli, but the function and underlying mechanism of Piezo1 impacting MA-ALI severity via sensing the impaired pulmonary blood flow are still not fully elucidated...

A 19-year-old patient after previous wedge resection of the right upper pulmonary lobe a year ago urgently admitted with recurrent right-sided spontaneous pneumothorax. According to standard management of spontaneous pneumothorax, we performed diagnostic thoracoscopy and drainage of the right pleural cavity with regular X-ray examinations. However, these measures were ineffective. The patient was scheduled for surgery, and we intraoperatively observed an unusual cause of pneumothorax. Thus, we present spontaneous pneumothorax following right upper lobe pulmonary sequestration...
