Pulmonary Sequestration: Follow-up
Updated: Jun 11, 2009
Follow-up
Prognosis
- In the absence of perioperative complications, surgical resection of the abnormal segment is usually curative.
- Prognosis may also be determined by the presence of any accompanying anomalies.
Miscellaneous
Medicolegal Pitfalls
- Failure to perform surgical resection of a pulmonary sequestration likely results in recurrent pneumonia.
