Aneurysms of lobar branches of pulmonary artery are extremely rare with few reported cases in literature. The exact etiopathogenesis of pulmonary artery aneurysms is not clearly understood and no clear guidelines on their management is available. Aneurysms of the secondary and tertiary branches appear to be even more uncommon than those of the trunk and primary branches. Here we report an unusual case of young female with multiple pulmonary artery aneurysms in bilateral lungs with fusiform dilation of main pulmonary trunk and a small patent ductus arteriosus.
肺动脉叶分支动脉瘤极为罕见,文献报道的病例很少。肺动脉瘤的确切发病机制尚不清楚,目前也没有关于其治疗的明确指南。二级和三级分支的动脉瘤似乎比主干和一级分支的动脉瘤更少见。在此,我们报告一例罕见病例,一名年轻女性双侧肺部有多个肺动脉瘤,主肺动脉干呈梭形扩张,并有一个小的动脉导管未闭。
