Highlights
Pulmonary artery aneurysms are a rare finding in general radiological practice
Irrespective of the underlying cause, most pulmonary artery (PAA) are associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension
Patients usually present with symptoms of mild congestive heart failure of insidious onset, haemoptysis and bronchial compression, or the aneurysm is discovered incidentally on chest radiography for unexplained dyspnoea.[2]
Summary
Pulmonary artery aneurysms are a rare finding in general radiological practice. The possible causes are myriad and diverse in pathophysiology. Patients with post-stenotic dilatation of the main pulmonary artery usually present fairly late with insidious cardiorespiratory symptoms. Diagnosis requires radiological imaging assistance as the clinical findings are nonspecific
