Abstract Bronchopulmonary sequestration (PS) is characterized by non-functioning lung tissue fed from one or several aberrant systemic arteries. The condition is diagnosed by visualizing the feeding arteries using non-invasive CT, MRI, colour Doppler sonography or conventional angiography. We present a 5-year-old boy in whom intralobar sequestration was diagnosed using contrast-enhanced 3D MR angiography, which visualised fine blood vessels in the thoraco-abdominal region without arterial puncture. This technique is useful for diagnosing PS.
