Abstract:
We report a case of a 41-year-old patient with multiple pulmonary aneurysms secondary to Hughes-Stovin syndrome. Conventional pulmonary angiography could not be performed, because thrombus in both the inferior and superior vena cavae prevented catheter passage. Contrast-enhanced three-dimensional (3D) MR angiography (MRA) showed two segmental pulmonary aneurysms in the right lung. The affected segments of the lung were resected successfully, predicated on the MRA findings.
