Intralobar pulmonary sequestration characterized by multiple cysts:A case report with literature review

Objective To study the clinical features,diagnosis and treatment of intralobar pulmonary sequestration（IPS）. Methods One case of IPS was reported with its related literature reviewed. Results The patient was a 34-year-old female.Her main symptoms were cough and sputum.Enhanced CT showed a multiple cystic-density shadow,cyst wall-compressed abnormal vessels,but no enhancement and peripheral irregularity,thus IPS was diagnosed. Conclusion IPS with multi-cysts is a rare disease,which is easily misdiagnosed in clinical practice.Enhanced CT and 3-dimensional reconstruction are the first choice of its diagnosis.Its early diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications such as infection and can thus achieve a good prognosis.
