Case report: Pulmonary sequestration with gastric fistula in a 20-year-old woman

Abstract

Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a rare condition characterized by the presence of lung tissue without function and without connection with the airways and may present in two forms: intralobar or extralobar.1 More rarely, BPS may be associated with a gastrointestinal fistula. We report the case of a 20-year-old patient with a history of recurrent pneumonia and dependent ventilatory chest pain who, after contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography and upper digestive endoscopy, was diagnosed with pulmonary sequestration of the medial basal segment and presence of gastric fistula in the cardia region. The treatment was successfully performed through a left lobectomy.
