Abstract

with complaints of haemoptysis with chest pain and breathlessness since last 3 months. She coughs out about 100 mL of blood per day. No history of cough, expectoration, fever and palpitations. On examination, she was tachypnoeic with a respiratory rate of 26, afebrile, tachycardic with pulse rate of 106 beats per minute, and normotensive with a blood pressure of 124/76 g. The rest of the physical examination, including the chest examination, was normal. The postoperative period was uneventful and patient was discharged postoperative day 9. The patient was followed for 4 months after surgery. She wa symptom-free after surgery. In a country like India where hemoptysis is almost always thought to be of tubercular origin, a high suspicion index is required to diagnose a rare congenital disorder like pulmonary sequestration.
