ABSTRACT

Unilateral absence of a pulmonary artery is an uncommon congenital heart disease. It can be related to respiratory symptoms such as asthma, an unusual finding in some of these patients. This paper reports the case of a 4-year-old male with recurrent respiratory infections and asthma symptoms, in who further studies found agenesia of right pulmonary artery with pulmonary hypoplasia of the same side.


La ausencia unilateral primitiva de una de las arterias pulmonares es una malformación congénita poco frecuente. Entre las manifestaciones clínicas de esta entidad se pueden encontrar síntomas respiratorios, como el asma, aunque la relación es infrecuente. Se comunica el caso de un niño de cuatro años de edad con episodios de infecciones respiratorias recurrentes y diagnóstico de asma, en quien posteriormente se encontró agenesia de la arteria pulmonar derecha e hipoplasia pulmonar secundaria ipsilateral.
