To the Editor:

We read with a great interest the article by Wandschneider and Illiasch entitled "Intralobar sequestration: a rare cause of severe hemothorax."1 We thank you for the interesting subject. We have a comment about what you called the median segment of the left lower lobe. To the best of our knowledge and according to the Jackson and Huber classification of 1943, the Boyden classification of 1945, the ad hoc international committee meeting at the time of the International Congress of Otorhinolaryngeology in 1949, and the Brock classification of 1950, there is no median segment of the left lower lobe, which you called segment 10. As we know, segment 10 is the posterior segment of the left lower lobe, which is the most common site of pulmonary sequestrations.

Second, what is the value of coil implantation as long as you decided to do a sementectomy (resection), and what did you do for the coil during and after resection?1,2
