Abstract :

 Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital anomaly of the lung that has variable presentation. It can  remain asymptomatic up to early adulthood. This condition is suspected when a shadow persists on a  chest radiograph. Confirmatory diagnosis requires angiography or computed tomography (CT) angiogram. Treatment  of choice remains surgical removal; however, embolisation of the feeder artery presents a recent advance. We present  a case of pulmonary sequesteration presenting as empyema.
