A case of dissecting aneurysm of the pulmonary artery is described. It was complicated by chronic pulmonary hypertension in a 42-year-old woman with a long history of atrial septal defect. The case is unusual in its clinical presentation with an acute brain abscess masking the pulmonary artery aneurysm dissection. The origin of the abscess in the absence of a known primary source of infection is difficult to explain, although brain infection is a well-known complication of congenital defects, even when infectious agents cannot be isolated.
本文描述了一例肺动脉夹层动脉瘤病例。该病例发生在一名42岁患有慢性肺动脉高压且有长期房间隔缺损病史的女性身上。该病例临床表现不寻常，急性脑脓肿掩盖了肺动脉瘤夹层。尽管脑感染是先天性缺陷的一种众所周知的并发症，即使无法分离出感染病原体，但在没有已知原发性感染源的情况下，脓肿的起源仍难以解释。
