Abstract
Pulmonary artery agenesis is an extremely rare congenital anomaly frequently associated with other cardiovascular abnormalities, and is usually diagnosed and surgically treated in childhood. The patient who survives to adulthood presents with an abnormal chest roentgenogram, few symptoms, or is asymptomatic with a variety of diagnostic possibilities. Since many physicians are not familiar with this disease, it may be misdiagnosed or overlooked. We report a 28-year-old male patient who was referred from another hospital and presented with sharp left chest pain and cough lasting for days, and who was finally diagnosed with left pulmonary artery agenesis with left lung hypoplasia and left main bronchus stenosis after a series of examinations.
