Intraabdominal extrapulmonary sequestration in an infant diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasound

Abstract

Intra-abdominal extralobar pulmonary sequestration is seen very rarely. When an echogenic mass with cystic spaces below the diaphragm in an infant is seen with ultrasound, color Doppler technique should be used to demonstrate the feeding artery. We present a case of intra-abdominal extrapulmonary sequestration in an infant that was diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasound.
