Abstract:
A pulmonary venous aneurysm (PVA) is extremely rare. A PVA can be either congenital or acquired. Possible symptoms include thoracic pain, dyspnoea, haemoptysis and palpitations but can also occur asymptomatically.

Only a few cases have been described in the literature. A recent case study and a literature review are described below.
