Abstract
Pulmonary vein atresia (PVA) is a very rare anomaly divided into common, individual and unilateral PVA. We report a case of a 54 year-old woman who presented with a history of recurrent dyspnea and pulmonary infections. The diagnosis of PVA was suspected in echocardiography and confirmed with CT angiography which demonstrated absent pulmonary veins except for the left inferior pulmonary vein. Pulmonary arteriography confirmed these findings. In our knowledge, the case of unilateral PVA with contralateral upper pulmonary vein atresia in an adult patient has never been reported in literature.
