Abstract

Congenital unilateral agenesis of pulmonary artery is a rare anomaly and it usually occurs in association with other cardiac anomaly such as tetralogy of Fallot. Since most patients affected by this defect without associated congenital cardiac anomaly or pulmonary Infection are asymptomatic, the clinical diagnosis of this anomal is first recognized by a characteristic pattern in chest roentgenogram taken as a routine checking; the findings on chest film consists of cardiac and mediastinal displacement, absence of the pulmonary arterial shadow, smaller hemithorax, and elevationof the hemidiaphragm, all on the affected side. We experienced rlght pulmonary artery agenesis in a 48 year-old male, who complained of massive hemoptysis, and it was diagnosed by digital subtraction pulmonary arteriogram and perfusin scan, and treated by right middle and lower lobe bi-lobectomy, and we report this case with the review of relevant literatures.

독립적으로 발생하는 일측 폐동맥의 선천성 형성부전증은 매우 드문 기형이며 대부분 활로씨 4징과 같은 심장기형과 동반하여 발생한다. 동반된 선천성 심기형이라 폐감염이 없는 경우 대부분의 환자에서 증상이 없기 때문에 일차적 인 진단은 흉부방사선 촬영상에서 특징적인 양상을 보이는 것으로써 이루어진다 흉부 단순 촬영상 심장과 종격동이 병변측으로 전위되고, 병변측 폐동맥 음영이 보이지 않으며 흉곽의 크기가 정상측에 비하여 작고 횡격막이 거상된 양상을 보인다. 최근 저자들은 다량의 객혈을 주소로 내원한 48세 남자환자에서 우측폐동맥 형성부전증을 폐관류 스캔과 전산화 감골처리 폐동맥 조영술로 진단하고 우중·하엽절제술을 통하여 치료하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
