[Pulmonary artery sling. A nuclear magnetic resonance study].
We present a symptomatic newborn infant with anomalous pulmonary artery (pulmonary artery sling) studied by magnetic resonance imaging. Of the ones diagnosed by this method, is the first case published in our country and the eight of all that have been reported until this moment. The different methods used for the diagnostic, are discussed. We conclude that, the magnetic resonance imaging is at the moment, the elective diagnostic method.
