RESUMO
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare condition, seen usually in association with congenital heart disease or secondary to various acquired causes. Isolated PVS, in adults, especially in absence of congenital heart disease is extremely uncommon. We report PVS of left sided pulmonary veins in an 18-year-old male, who had been till then diagnosed as primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH).

We report twin neonates who were born prematurely at 32 weeks of gestation to a mother with human immunodeficiency virus infection. One of the twins developed complete heart block and dilated cardiomyopathy related to lopinavir/ritonavir therapy, a boosted protease-inhibitor agent, while the other twin developed mild bradycardia. We recommend caution in the use of lopinavir/ritonavir in the immediate neonatal period.
