Abstract

|
|
|
Pulmonary artery aneurysms are a rare anomaly and associated with poor outcome. We understand poorly about the pathogenesis and natural history of pulmonary artery aneurysm, but pulmonary hypertension is one of the major cause. Because the rupture of aneurysms is a life-threatening event, surgical correction is still the treatment of choice. A mediastinal widening or vascular dilatation in chest radiography often is similar to the finding of aortic dissection. We report a case of a 52-year-old man with generalized edema. He had diagnosed a schizophrenia. A computed tomography, transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac catheterization showed aneurysmal dilatation of the trunk and left main pulmonary arteries, infundibular pulmonary stenosis. After conservative treatment, he has a routine follow-up at out-patient-department.
