Unilateral pulmonary vein atresia is a rare entity, usually congenital in origin. It is thought to result from failure of incorporation of common pulmonary vein to left atrium. Patients often present with recurrent chest infections and haemoptysis during infancy or early childhood. Associated anomalies are commonly present in these cases. Pulmonary angiography is generally used for definitive diagnosis; however, characteristic imaging findings on latest multislice CT can be virtually diagnostic.
单侧肺静脉闭锁是一种罕见的病症，通常为先天性起源。它被认为是由于共同肺静脉未能并入左心房所致。患者在婴儿期或儿童早期常出现反复的胸部感染和咯血。这些病例中通常存在相关的异常情况。肺血管造影术一般用于明确诊断；然而，最新多层CT上的特征性影像学表现实际上可用于诊断。
