Abstract
Extralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital pulmonary malformation that may present early in life or remain asymptomatic. Here we present a case of torsion of an extralobar pulmonary sequestration on its vascular pedicle. Although the patient’s initial symptomatology suggested intraabdominal pathology, the correct preoperative diagnosis was determined in large part by the lesion’s MRI characteristics, which strongly suggested tissue infarction.
