Anomalous systemic arterial supply to the normal basal segments of the lower lobe of the lung without sequestration is a rare congenital abnormality. Whether the condition belongs to the broad spectrum of sequestration disorders remains controversial. This report is of a patient with anomalous systemic arterial supply to the normal basal segments of the left lower lobe, together with an attenuated pulmonary artery and normal tracheobronchial tree.

左肺下葉基底段由異常體循環動脈分支供血,但又未從正常肺中隔離出來的病狀是一種罕見的先天性畸形。該病症是否屬於廣義的肺隔離症仍存在着爭議。本文報告一名正常左肺下葉基底段由異常體循環動脈分支供血的病例;病例合併有肺動脈細小,但氣管支氣管分支正常。
