Pulmonary vein varix is a rare benign abnormality, either congenital or acquired, usually presented without symptoms. It is most frequently discovered by chance on a chest radiograph, whereas computed tomography defines the special characteristics of the lesion. Angiography is considered the method of choice for final diagnosis. The authors present the first case of a patient with pulmonary vein varix accompanied by interatrial communication.
肺静脉瘤样扩张是一种罕见的良性异常，可为先天性或后天性，通常无症状。它最常偶然在胸部X线片上被发现，而计算机断层扫描可明确病变的特殊特征。血管造影被认为是最终诊断的首选方法。作者报告了首例伴有房间隔交通的肺静脉瘤样扩张患者。
