Multiple coarctation of the pulmonary artery.
Pulmonary artery coarctation is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by single or multiple stenoses of the pulmonary arteries and their branches. There are only a few reports describing the radiological film of this entity. In this paper we report the case of a 68 year-old woman who presented with dyspnea. The scintigraphic, examination of the lungs gave the misleading impression of pulmonary embolism, and only angiography and magnetic resonance imaging established the correct diagnosis of multiple coarctations of the pulmonary artery.
