Summary
Unilateral pulmonary agenesis, a rare congenital condition, was identified in an infant. Computed tomography (CT) revealed an abnormal pulmonary artery and provided crucial prognostic information about tracheal size.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Radiology
- Congenital Abnormalities
- Thoracic Imaging
Background:
- Unilateral pulmonary agenesis (UPA) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the complete or partial absence of lung tissue.
- It often presents with other associated anomalies, making diagnosis and management challenging.
- Early identification is crucial for predicting prognosis and planning interventions.
