Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome: a rare complication after right pneumonectomy.

Kausik Bhattacharya1, Rashmi Birla, David Northridge, Vipin Zamvar.   

Abstract

Platypnea is characterized by breathlessness in the upright position. Orthodeoxia is defined by arterial desaturation on standing. Herein we describe a case of platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome in a patient who underwent a right pneumonectomy for adenocarcinoma of the lung. Closure of a patent foramen ovale, causing a right-to-left shunt, with an Amplatzer device, produced immediate symptomatic relief.
