ABSTRACT

The authors report the occurrence of an intralobar pulmonary sequestration in a neonate with symptoms of congestive heart failure, due to a fistula effect in the sequestrated area. The venous drainage was directed mainly to the superior caval vein via azygos vein and accessorily to the left atrium. The patient became asymptomatic after lobectomy performed at the age of 11 days.
