Abstract

Purpose: To present the vision of a pediatric surgeon in front of a case of a female 2 year old patient with left extralobar pulmonary sequestration who received different information regarding the handling of the same. Methods: Recent bibliographic research in Scielo and Pubmed databases. Point of view: Removal of pulmonary sequestration with symptoms is mandatory and should be done by videothoracoscopy. Asymptomatic pulmonary sequestration is still controversial, although the balance of recent scientific information is that of removing the lung mass without function and with dysplasia. In this sense the removal must be done by assisted video surgery. The embolization or fulguration of the aberrant nourishing artery is gaining space. This procedure can be performed intra-uterus when the diagnosis is made in prenatal care.
