Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital malformation of the airway. Although it is usually diagnosed during childhood, some cases go entirely unnoticed, and others, like the one in this report, have an acute and infrequent presentation. Case report: the case of a newborn with acute respiratory failure due to a large volume mass in the left hemithorax is described. A computed tomography scan of the chest revealed the presence of a mass causing contralateral mediastinal shift and ipsilateral pulmonary atelectasis. After surgical removal, the mass was sent for a pathological examination, which was conclusive with pulmonary sequestration. Conclusions: Most of pulmonary sequestrations can go unnoticed, but those that occur acutely and produce life-threatening conditions, such as respiratory failure, should be resected as soon as the patient's conditions allow it.
