Abstract

Unilateral pulmonary agenesis is a rare congenital abnormality that may be associated with other anomalies. Diagnosis is usually made in the neonatal period or early childhood, and it is very rare in adults. A 39-year-old female patient with increasing shortness of breath, cough, and sputum production was admitted to our hospital with complaints of coughing up blood. There were no breath sounds from the left lung in the physical examination. A posteroanterior chest X-ray revealed displacement of the mediastinum and diaphragm to the left, and the space normally occupied by the left lung was almost completely replaced with a homogenous opacity. A diagnosis of left pulmonary agenesis was supported by a computed tomography scan of the chest, pulmonary magnetic resonance (MR) angiography and bronchoscopy. This case is a rare example of pulmonary agenesis diagnosed in adulthood.

Özet

Tek taraflı akciğer agenezisi diğer anomalilerin de eşlik edebildiği nadir görülen konjenital bir anomalidir. Tanısı genellikle neonatal dönemde ya da erken çocukluk döneminde konulur. Erişkinlerde çok nadir görülür. Otuz dokuz yaşında, kadın hasta bir aydır artan nefes darlığı, öksürük, balgam çıkarma ve kan tükürme yakınmalarıyla hastanemize başvurdu. Fizik muayenede; sol akciğerde solunum sesi alınamadı. Postero-anterior akciğer grafisinde, mediastenin sola yer değiştirdiği, sol diyafragmanın izlenmediği, solda tama yakın homojen opasite olduğu gözlendi. Yapılan toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi, pulmoner manyetik rezonans (MR) anjiyografi ve bronkoskopi sonucunda sol pulmoner agenezisi tanısı kondu. Nadir görülmesi nedeniyle erişkin yaşta tanı konmuş bir pulmoner agenezi olgusunu sunuyoruz.
