Pulmonary hypoplasia with associated cardiac and skeletal malformations.
Patients with mild pulmonary hypoplasia typically use to have minimal respiratory symptoms. Nonetheless, other associated anomalies such as cardiac, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, or skeletal defects may be seen. We report the case of a 17-year-old male patient with hypoplastic right lung with secondary cardiac dextroposition, an ostium secundum atrial septal defect, a hypoplastic right pulmonary artery arising from the posterior wall of the left pulmonary artery with a retrocava course, vertebral bone fusion and pollicization due to right congenital thumb absence.
