Abstract Intralobar pulmonary sequestration (ILPS) and bronchogenic cyst are rare congenital diseases. We present the first case of the association between an ILPS located in the upper lobe and a bronchogenic cyst. This association has been discovered antenatally in a girl. The cystic lesion has been shown by a fetal MRI and confirmed by a CT scan at 3 weeks of life. She underwent a left upper lobectomy by thoracoscopy at the age of 5 months. Postoperative course was uneventfull. This case confirms the congenital origin of pulmonary sequestration and shows the interest of an early surgery. Pediatr.
