[Echocardiography findings in isolated anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta].
Origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta is extremely rare. We describe the echocardiographic findings of this lesion in a single case. The absence of an image of the right pulmonary artery in the echocardiographic short axis view at the level of the great arteries, is highly suggestive of this lesion. Differentiation from truncus arteriosus, aorto-pulmonary window and transposition of the great arteries must, and can be made by a comprehensive echocardiographic study.
