Abstract

A 42 year old lady presented with dyspnea and 3episodes of hemoptysis since 1 day. Her chest radiograph revealed mild peripheral fibrosis & volume lossin right lung, subsequent HRCT confirmed the findings with additional diagnosis of absence of the rightmain pulmonary artery. This was further confirmed ondigital subtraction angiography and the right lungwas solely supplied by the systemic circulation. Theconventional angiography did not demonstrate anyactive extravasation or blush to suggest active bleeder.Empirical embolization was not attempted due to arisk of pulmonary infarction. Patient was managedsymptomatically and conservatively.This condition isimportant to recognize in the list of differential diagnoses for pulmonary artery abnormalities and anyacquired causes of pulmonary vasculature obstruction must be ruled out on imaging modalities.

Özet

Kırk iki yaşında kadın hasta, önceki günden beri 3 kez hemoptizi atağı ve dispne yakınması ile başvurdu. Akciğer grafisinde sağ akciğerde volüm kaybı ve hafif periferal fibrozis vardı. Yüksek rezolüsyonlu bilgisayarlı tomografide bu bulgulara ilave olarak sağ pulmoner arterin olmadığı belirlendi. Bu bilgi djijtal subtraction anjiografi ile doğrulandı ve sağ akciğerin sadece sistemik dolaşımdan beslendiği görüldü. Konvansiyonel angiografide herhangi bir ekstra damarlanma veya aktif kanama odağı görülmedi. Pulmoner enfarkt riski nedeniyle ampirik embolizasyon yapılmadı. Hasta semptomatik ve konservatif olarak tedavi edildi. Pulmoner arter anomalilerinin ayırcı tanısında bu durum önemli olup görüntüleme yöntemleri ile pulmoner damarsal obstrüksiyonların nedenleri araştırılmalıdır.
