Young patient with recurrent hemoptysis

Abstract

We report a clinical case of a young woman with recurrent haemoptysis.

In this case, we wish to highlight the contribution to diagnosis of computed tomography (CT) showing anomalous vessels in left lower lobe. The image of digital intravenous arteriography subtraction (DIVAS) revealed the absence of normal lung vessels in that area and the aortography with selective arteriography showed two aberrant arteries originated from the thoracic aorta and an unusual venous return trough the azygous and hemiazygous systems. Usually, the venous drainage of intralobar sequestration is via the pulmonary veins.
