Abstract
Pulmonary sequestration (PS) consists of a rare lung malformation, characterized by a mass of non-functional lung tissue, which does not maintain normal communication with the tracheobronchial tree and whose blood supply is from an anomalous systemic artery. Its prenatal diagnosis is still rare, usually performed in centers of reference by trained professionals. The following is a case report of a prenatal diagnosis of pulmonary sequestration, correlating the pre and postnatal findings in different methods of diagnostic imaging.
