With the growing use of imaging to aid in both diagnosis and treatment of patients presenting with a myriad of clinical presentations, incidental findings on imaging have become commonplace. Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is a rare congenital cardiovascular condition that often goes undiagnosed due to lack of symptoms early in life. In adulthood, it can manifest clinically as right-sided heart failure or pulmonary hypertension. We present a case of PAPVC, which, like most cases, was discovered incidentally on chest X-ray.
随着影像学在辅助诊断和治疗各种临床表现患者方面的应用日益增加,影像学上的偶然发现已变得很常见。部分性肺静脉异位连接(PAPVC)是一种罕见的先天性心血管疾病,由于在生命早期缺乏症状,常常未被诊断出来。在成年期,它可临床上表现为右侧心力衰竭或肺动脉高压。我们报告一例PAPVC病例,与大多数病例一样,是在胸部X线检查时偶然发现的。
