Isolated unilateral absence of pulmonary artery (UAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly. When detected in infancy, the condition is commonly associated with cardiovascular defects which are more frequently associated with left pulmonary artery agenesis. Patients with isolated right pulmonary artery agenesis survive into adulthood with minimal or no symptoms and are diagnosed incidentally on the chest radiographs. We report a case of a 19-year-old female patient who presented to us with recurrent haemoptysis. She was symptomatic since the age of four years. We report the rare occurrence of UAPA on right side, agenesis of right upper lobe and bronchiectasis of right lower lobe with anomalous arterial supply of right lung from coeliac axis in this patient.
孤立性单侧肺动脉缺如(UAPA)是一种罕见的先天性异常。在婴儿期被发现时,该病症通常与心血管缺陷相关,而这些缺陷更常与左肺动脉发育不全有关。孤立性右肺动脉发育不全的患者可存活至成年,症状轻微或无症状,常在胸部X线片检查时偶然被诊断出来。我们报告一例19岁女性患者,她因反复咯血前来就诊。她自4岁起就出现症状。我们报告了该患者罕见的右侧UAPA、右上叶发育不全以及右下叶支气管扩张,同时右肺有来自腹腔干的异常动脉供应情况。
