The anomaly causes a predisposition for pulmonary complications such as infection and hemoptysis. There are two types of sequestrations: intralobar and extralobar. As the name implies, the intralobar sequestration is located within the normal lung (Fig. 97-1), whereas the extralobar sequestration is separate from the normal lung, enclosed in its own pleural envelope (Fig. 97-2). One should be aware of other associated anomalies such as abnormal communication of the bronchial tree, systemic venous drainage, rare communication to the foregut, and diaphragmatic hernia (Table 97-1). In addition, the aberrant systemic vessel can arise from any systemic intrathoracic or upper abdominal vessel, including the aorta, the subclavian artery, and even the coronary arteries. Although they are most commonly found in the left lower lobe, sequestrations also occur in the right lower lobe and the left or right upper lobe.
