Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a condition where a portion of lung tissue is separated from the normal bronchopulmonary tree. It is classified into intralobar and extralobar types. These lesions can be fed by abnormal systemic arteries, often from the aorta. Diagnosis is made via ultrasound, with extralobar sequestration typically associated with pleural effusions and other anomalies. Management may involve surgical resection, especially if there is hydrops or pleural effusion. In some cases, a prenatal shunt or laser therapy may be required to manage complications.
