چکیده
Isolated unilateral absence of pulmonary artery (UAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly. When detected in infancy, the condition is commonly associated with cardiovascular defects which are more frequently associated with left pulmonary artery agenesis. Patients with isolated right pulmonary artery agenesis survive into adulthood with minimal or no symptoms and are diagnosed incidentally on the chest radiographs. We report a case of a 19-year-old female patient who presented to us with recurrent haemoptysis. She was symptomatic since the age of four years. We report the rare occurrence of UAPA on right side, agenesis of right upper lobe and bronchiectasis of right lower lobe with anomalous arterial supply of right lung from coeliac axis in this patient.

the right lung becomes functionally impaired as a result of lung disease or surgery. For instance, a right pneumonectomy could have fatal consequences in a patient with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the left upper lobe. In such a situation, shunt volume would dramatically increase to 50% of total pulmonary blood flow, and only the left lower lobe would be contributing to the sy...
