    Bilateral pulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by non-functioning lung tissue with aberrant arterial supply.

  • 2

    A 28-year-old woman with BPS presented with cough, hemoptysis, and bilateral lower lung masses, confirmed by CT and 3D reconstruction.

  • 3

    Aspergillus infection was confirmed through sputum culture and bronchoalveolar lavage, complicating the patient's condition.

  • 4

    Staged uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic bilateral lower lobectomy was performed, guided by 3D reconstruction, to ensure safety and functional preservation.

  • 5

    Post-surgery, the patient showed excellent recovery with preserved lung function and no major complications one year later.
