[Persistent pleuropneumopathy in a young woman].

Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare malformation characterized by lung tissue fed by one or several aberrant systemic arteries. The authors present the case of a 35-year-old woman in whom extralobar sequestration was fortuitously detected at the time of persistent pleuropneumopathy. Computed tomography was used in the diagnosis of pulmonary sequestration. The most common and recommended treatment is the surgical removal of the pulmonary sequestration.
