| Abstract: | Three cases of intrathoracic hyperechogenic areas on fetal ultrasound are described. Two apparently resolved spontaneously and the infants are alive at 1 year and 7 months, respectively. The third infant was found to have a pulmonary sequestration of the extra-lobar variety which required surgical resection. |
