Abstract
We present a rare case of anomalous systemic arterial supply to normal basal segments of the left lower lobe. Plain computed tomography (CT) showed an occupancy lesion in the left lower lobe. Contrast CT and merged three-dimensional (3D) image reconstruction showed that the anomalous systemic artery originated from the descending aorta and substituted the basilar segmental pulmonary artery and the arterial supply to the basilar segment of left lower lobe. We use the merged image reconstruction of 3D CT angiography and bronchography (3D-CTAB) to depict the precise location and stereoscopic shape of this vascular malformation. Therefore, we think that these data add a novel comprehensive perspective on the diagnosis of the feature of malformation and treatment planning for this rare disease.
