Isolated unilateral proximal interruption of the pulmonary artery: findings of high-resolution computed tomography and three-dimensional volume rendering imaging of the pleura
A unilateral proximal interruption of the pulmonary artery is a rare entity that is commonly associated with other congenital cardiovascular anomalies. However, less frequently, this condition may occur as an isolated finding, and some patients are completely asymptomatic. We report 2 cases of asymp...

| description | A unilateral proximal interruption of the pulmonary artery is a rare entity that is commonly associated with other congenital cardiovascular anomalies. However, less frequently, this condition may occur as an isolated finding, and some patients are completely asymptomatic. We report 2 cases of asymptomatic patients who had an isolated unilateral proximal interruption of the pulmonary artery. Herein, the radiological imaging findings are described with an emphasis on interlobular septal thickening of the affected lung demonstrated with high-resolution computed tomography. Three-dimensional volume rendering imaging clearly demonstrated reticular opacities on the surface of the affected side of the pleura. |
