Pulmonary artery coarctation is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by single or multiple stenoses of the pulmonary arteries and their branches. There are only a few reports describing the radiological film of this entity. In this paper we report the case of a 68 year-old woman who presented with dyspnea. The scintigraphic, examination of the lungs gave the misleading impression of pulmonary embolism, and only angiography and magnetic resonance imaging established the correct diagnosis of multiple coarctations of the pulmonary artery.
肺动脉缩窄是一种罕见的先天性异常，其特征为肺动脉及其分支出现单处或多处狭窄。仅有少数报告描述过该病症的影像学表现。本文报告了一例68岁出现呼吸困难的女性病例。肺部闪烁扫描检查给人造成肺栓塞的误导性印象，只有血管造影和磁共振成像确诊为肺动脉多处缩窄。
