Objectives: Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare lung anomaly for which surgical resection is the definitive treatment. Although thoracotomy is the conventional approach, minimally invasive surgery is associated with less morbidity. We report the case of a 28-year-old female suffering from back pain and haemoptysis. Methods: Radiologic evaluation revealed pulmonary sequestration in the left lower lobe mediobasal segment with a descending aorta supply. She underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) left lower lobe basilar segmentectomy, sparing the superior segment. The arterial supply is clearly visualised and divided. Results: The patient had an uneventful postoperative period. Chest tube was removed on postoperative day 1. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 3. Conclusion: VATS resection of the intrapulmonary sequestration with a lung sparing method is a suitable resection method with very low morbidity.
