title: Patent ductus arteriosus aneurysm: a rare cause of dyspnea in an adolescent boy.
abstract: We report a rare cause of dyspnea in an adolescent boy who presented with complaints of dyspnea on exertion since childhood without any cyanosis. Computed tomography angiography showed a large patent ductus arteriosus aneurysm that was seen compressing on the trachea and a left main bronchus with associated decreased left lung volume.
