Left Pulmonary Artery Sling Associated with Patent Ductus Arteriosus and Atrial Septal Defect: Evaluation with Multidetector CT
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of left pulmonary artery sling associated with patent ductus arteriosus and atrial septal defect in a 21-month-old child. 256-slice MDCT provides valuable information, such as abnormal origin of the left pulmonary artery, the relationship between pulmonary artery and airway, the diameter of the patent ductus artery and atrial septal defect. The information is helpful in diagnosis, pre-operative evaluation and post-operative follow-up of LPS.

Congenital thoracic arterial anomalies in adults: a CT overview.
Congenital thoracic arterial anomalies can be incidentally detected in adults from imaging studies performed for other indications. Multidetector computed tomography plays a critical role in the noninvasive assessment of these anomalies and associated cardiac, mediastinal, or parencyhmal changes by providing volumetric data. Radiologists should be familiar with imaging findings ...

Electrocardiographic-gated 64-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) was performed on a 30-year-old man who presented with a complete endocardial cushion defect (ECD) and severe pulmonary hypertension diagnosed when he was 3 years old. Multiplanar reconstruction image showed the common atrium without an atrial septum, a large ventricular septum defect, and a small right ventricle due to...
متن کاملA rare case of crossed pulmonary arteries in an infant - case report
Crossed pulmonary arteries are a quite rare form of pulmonary arterial malposition. In this anomaly, the left pulmonary artery originates from the pulmonary trunk to the right and usually above the origin of the right pulmonary artery. Both pulmonary arteries cross each other on their course to each respective lung. We presented a case of a Chinese infant with crossed pulmonary arteries. Physic...

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is an open communication between the upper descending thoracic aorta and the proximal left pulmonary artery, which results from persistence of the fetal ductus arteriosus. It may be isolated or occur with other congenital cardiac anomalies. Aneurysms of the ductus arteriosus are rare lesions which may occur as a spontaneous. infantile fonn or occur in later c...
متن کاملAn unusual cause of a continuous murmur simulating persistent ductus arteriosus and associated with other congenital cardiac defects.
A continuous murmur like that of a persistent ductus arteriosus produced by a stenosed branch of a pulmonary artery with a post-stenotic dilatation is presented in the following case. Other abnormalities included a hypoplastic left lung, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, and an absent left pulmonary artery. The literature on congenital heart disease contains increasing numbers of...
