Abstract

Pulmonary artery aneurysm is a very rare condition. Clinical experience is limited and current knowledge is mainly derived from autopsy findings, however, Pulmonary arterial aneurysms are being detected more frequently with modern techniques of echocardiography and angiography. We report a case of pulmonary artery aneurysm presenting with pulmonary hypertension. We will present a review of literature and discuss the differential diagnosis, presentation and management.
