CXR Intralobar Sequestration Normal CXR 3 Years Prior
Frontal CXR of a 31-year-old woman with an intralobar sequestration shows a close to normal appearing CXR . In retrospect she has a diagnosis of an intralobar sequestration of the apical segment of the left lower lobe of the lung and with that knowledge the observation of a relative lucency in the region of the apical segment, the shape deformity of the heart, relative elevation of the left pulmonary artery and subtle flattening of the left hemidiaphragm is questioned.

An axial CT scan (A) of a 31-year-old woman with an intralobar sequestration shows a left lower pneumonia (arrowhead) with a surrounding region of emphysema (arrow). A reformatted coronal image (B) shows a systemic artery arising from the descending aorta (arrow) that supplies the sequestration.
