Abstract:
An anomalous systemic arterial supply to the normal basal segments of the left lower lobe without sequestration is a rare congenital anomaly. It differs from classical bronchopulmonary sequestration in that the involver lung retains a normal connection to the bronchial tree, although some place this entity exists within the broad framework of pulmonary sequestration. We experienced a case of a woman who presented with a nodular lesion on a chest X-ray. Contrast-enhanced CT diagnosed her as having an anomalous systemic arterial supply to the normal basal segments of the left lower lobe. This case is reported with a brief literature review.
