Abstract

Unilateral pulmonary artery agenesis (UPAA) is a rare congenital anomaly which can be symptomatic or even asymptomatic. Most of patients with isolated UPAA have mild symptoms and it is difficult to be diagnosed, especially when abnormal findings of chest radiograph are the first presentation. It is often misdiagnosed and is not considered during differential diagnosis. To make a diagnosis of UPAA, various imaging modalities including chest radiograph, computed tomography (CT), and angiography are used. We report a 33-year-old woman in pregnancy presented recurrent hemoptysis whose CT was postponed due to her pregnancy. Although CT is a useful diagnostic tool, chest radiograph could be used instead in pregnancy suggesting UPAA with a lot of information.
