| bronchopulmonary sequestration | A developmental anomaly in which a mass of nonfunctioning lung tissue lacks normal connection with the tracheobroncheal tree and receives an anomalous blood supply originating from the descending thoracic or abdominal aorta. The mass may be extralobar, i.e., completely separated from normally connected lung, or intralobar, i.e., partly surrounded by normal lung. (12 Dec 1998) |

| sequestration | 1. Formation of a sequestrum. 2. Loss of blood or of its fluid content into spaces within the body so that it is withdrawn from the circulating volume, resulting in haemodynamic impairment, hypovolaemia, hypotension, and reduced venous return to the heart. Origin: L. Sequestratio, fr. Sequestro, pp. -atus, to lay aside (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| sequestration cyst | A collection of cancerous cells which form cysts that contain one or more of the three primary embryonic germ layers: skin, hair or teeth. (27 Sep 1997) |
| sequestration dermoid | An obsolete term for epidermal cyst. (05 Mar 2000) |
| disc sequestration | <radiology> Complete separation of disc material with rupture through posterior longitudinal ligament into the epidural space; free fragment herniation findings: migration superiorly/inferiorly with compression of nerve roots above/below the level of herniation, disc material noted more than 9mm from disc space Differential diagnosis: postoperative scarring (retraction of thecal sac to the site of surgery), epidural abscess/tumour, conjoined nerve root: 2 nerve roots arising simultaneously from the thecal sac; normal variant in 1-3% see: degenerative disc disease (12 Dec 1998) |
| intralobar sequestration | <radiology> Nonfunctioning portion of lung <indent>WITHIN visceral pleura of a pulmonary lobe, left lower lobe (67%); rarely in upper lobes, arterial supply: SYSTEMIC, usually aorta, venous drainage: usually via pulmonary. Vv. (occasionally systemic), usually does not communicate with bronchial tree, cystic, may become infected, not associated with other abnormalities see: sequestration Cf: extralobar sequestration (12 Dec 1998) |
| extralobar sequestration | <radiology> Accessory lung: lung tissue in its own pleura, left lower lobe (90%), systemic arterial AND venous connection (unlike intralobar) results in L to R shunt, associated with congenital anomalies of diaphragm: eventration, paralysis, ipsilateral hernia, XR: homogeneous ST mass, rarely infected see also: sequestration Cf: intralobar sequestration (12 Dec 1998) |
| allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis | <radiology> ABPA: Aspergillus fumigatus hypersensitivity, mucoid impaction of bronchi distal to lobar bronchus, mucus plugs contain fungi, eosinophils, XR: Y-shaped density (mucus plug wedged in bronchi) (12 Dec 1998) |
| aspergillosis, allergic bronchopulmonary | Aspergillosis of the lung occurring in an individual with long-standing bronchial asthma. It is characterised by pulmonary infiltrates, eosinophilia, elevated serum IgE and immediate type skin reactivity to aspergillus antigen. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bronchopulmonary | <anatomy> Pertaining to the lungs and their air passages, both bronchial and pulmonary. (18 Nov 1997) |
| bronchopulmonary aspergillosis | An inflammatory and destructive disease of the bronchi and lungs due to the presence and growth of Aspergillus fumigatus. There are four varieties: 1) a bronchial infection with allergic manifestations, in which the fungus grows in the mucus (evoked by the inflammation), which may be expectorated as yellow bronchial casts and may cause intermittent bronchial obstruction, with transient pulmonary shadows seen radiographically; asthma is often present, and bronchial wall destruction may eventually result in a proximal form of bronchiectasis; 2) aspergilloma; 3) an infection with pulmonary necrosis as a pneumonic involvement of the lung in debilitated subjects; 4) disseminated aspergillosis. Synonym: bronchopneumonic aspergillosis, pulmonary aspergillosis. Disseminated aspergillosis, a variety of bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, characterised by a generalised infection of the lung with Aspergillus occurring usually in subjects with defective immune response. Invasive aspergillosis, so-called because of the peculiar predilection of Aspergillus fumigatus to invade blood vessels and cause tissue infarction; it is second only to candidiasis as a cause of opportunistic fungal infection in patients whose immune mechanisms have been suppressed by chemotherapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchopulmonary dysplasia | <embryology, paediatrics> A form of chronic lung disease of uncertain cause sometimes seen in children who have received mechanical respiratory support (with high oxygenation) in the neonatal period. Often associated with those infants who have been treated for hyaline membrane disease. Origin: Gr. Plassein = to form (27 Sep 1997) |
| bronchopulmonary lymph nodes | Lymph nodes in the hilum of the lung that receive lymph from the pulmonary node's, and drain to the tracheobronchial nodes. Synonym: glandulae bronchiales, bronchial glands, hilar lymph nodes, nodi lymphatici bronchopulmonales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchopulmonary segment | The largest subdivision of a lobe of the lung; it is supplied by a direct tertiary (lobular) bronchus and a tertiary branch of the pulmonary artery; it is separated from adjacent segments by connective tissue septa. Synonym: segmentum bronchopulmonale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchopulmonary segments | A subdivision of one lobe of a lung based on the connection to the segmental bronchus. For example, the right upper lobe has apical, anterior, and posterior segments. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bronchopulmonary spirochetosis | Chronic bronchitis due to infection with spirochetes (though other bacteria are usually present and contribute to the infection) and characterised by cough and bloody sputum. Synonym: bronchopulmonary spirochetosis, bronchospirochetosis, Castellani's bronchitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
