[Pulmonary venous occlusive disease. Case report and literature review].
We present the case of a 64-year-old female patient who died of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease. The patient had suffered for several months from increasing dyspnea and right heart failure. Chest x-ray showed signs of pulmonary hypertension as well as Kerley A- and B-lines and pre-edema and a moderately enlarged heart. The diagnosis of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease was confirmed by open lung biopsy. We compare our case with the other cases of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) published in the literature.
