Infradiaphragmatic extralobar pulmonary sequestration. Fetus at 23 weeks’ gestation. a Fetal sagittal single-shot fast spin-echo MR image showing a well-defined hyperintense mass with hypointense septa in the left abdomen (arrow) between the diaphragm, the stomach (arrowhead), and above the kidney. Imaging studies after birth (US, CT, and MR) detected this lesion; the suprarenal gland was normal and the metaiodobenzylguandine study was negative. b Postnatal axial T1-weighted MR image showing the lesion (arrows). The child is asymptomatic, and the laboratory tests were normal. No anomalous vascular irrigation was detected; nevertheless, we believe this is a case of infradiaphragmatic extralobar pulmonary sequestration, and no surgery has been performed
