Dilated mucus-filled bronchi in the right lung lower lobe with surrounding lung hypoattenuation. Abnormal arteries are arising from the abdominal aorta and celiac trunk feeding this part of the lung.

1. Bronchial artery arising from the celiac trunk and going to right lung lower lobe.
2. Bronchial artery arising from abdominal aorta and going to right lung lower lobe.
Case Discussion
The feeding arteries from abdominal aorta are typical for pulmonary sequestration.
Limitation: as the exam is abdominal CT scan for evaluation of the kidneys and renal arteries, the entire lungs have not been included.
