Meandering pulmonary vein (MPV) is a rare entity that can be associated with an additional cardiac and pulmonary venous variations, including left-to-right shunts. Clinicians should consider further workup with dedicated cardiac imaging to evaluate for associated cardiovascular abnormalities after an abnormal pulmonary vein draining is initially identified on routine computed tomography or echocardiogram. Pulmonary venous variations in MPV represent a spectrum of disorders, and no consistent nomenclature has been established.
迂曲肺静脉(MPV)是一种罕见的情况,可伴有额外的心脏和肺静脉变异,包括左向右分流。在常规计算机断层扫描或超声心动图初步发现肺静脉引流异常后,临床医生应考虑采用专门的心脏成像进行进一步检查,以评估是否存在相关的心血管异常。MPV中的肺静脉变异代表了一系列疾病,目前尚未建立一致的命名法。
