Abstract
Unilateral absence of pulmonary artery is an uncommon congenital disorder. We report a case of unilateral absence of the right pulmonary artery in an adult without any other cardiovascular anomalies. We describe the clinical and radiologic presentations of this disease. Computed tomography scan and Surgery enabled us to confirm the diagnosis precisely, which was successfully treated with a right pneumonectomy for right-sided bullous lung disease and bronchiectasis. He is doing well at 2 year follow-up.Entities:
