Material and methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study of 16 observations of pulmonary sequestration managed in the pediatric surgery department of the Fattouma Bourguiba Hospital, Monastir.Results: Our series included 7 boys and 9 girls. The mean age was 30 months. Antenatal diagnosis was made in 8 cases. The clinical picture was dominated by respiratory symptoms in 13 cases. In the remaining three cases, the diagnosis was made incidentally during surgery. Imaging suggested the diagnosis in 7 patients. All children underwent surgery. Thoracoscopy was performed in 8 children, and conversion was performed in 3 patients. Removal was by sequestrectomy in the case of extra-lobar sequestration; lobectomy in the case of intra-lobar sequestration and in hybrid forms. All patients had a favourable outcome.Conclusion: Pulmonary sequestration can take on different aspects, sometimes leading to confusion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46394155106455,"sku":"9786208198602","price":6426.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786208198602.webp?v=1769028025","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/lung-sequestration-in-children-9786208198602","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
