We report a case of an intralobar pulmonary sequestration in the left lower lobe presenting with aspects of bronchial atresia associated with an anomalous systemic artery supplying the basal segments of the right lower lobe, which showed no bronchial or parenchymal anomalies. This is an extremely rare occurrence and has been reported only twice in the literature so far.
