As result of routine ultrasound screening during the pregnancy, the number of congenital abnormalities causes severe perinatal respiratory or circulatory failure detected antenatally is rising. The severity of the extralobar pulmonary sequestration is variable. The intrauterine diagnosis and the proper prognosis is difficult because of the rarity of this abnormality. The Color-Doppler ultrasound method has a great importance in the diagnosis. With our case report we would like to help in the better understanding of this rare abnormality.
