Pulmonary sequestration is a relatively rare congenital lesion of the lung. The occurrence of intralobar pulmonary sequestration coincidentally with situs inversus totalis is an interesting combination. We report a case of intralobar sequestration with situs inversus totalis a 30-year-old lady, which was treated successfully in our institution.
