High-altitude pulmonary edema potentially is fatal. Adults with unilateral absence of a right pulmonary artery are particularly susceptible to high-altitude pulmonary edema. The occurrence of high-altitude pulmonary edema was documented in a child with congenital absence of the right pulmonary artery. Improvement occurred only upon descent to low altitude. Physicians should be aware of this life-threatening condition in children ascending to high altitude, particularly in individuals with unilateral absence of a pulmonary artery.

A 79-year-old woman had a primary tumor of the pulmonary artery, which was initially diagnosed as chronic pulmonary thromboembolism. Multislice angio-computed tomography showed a solid mass in the right pulmonary artery. Radical resection of the tumor was achieved by right pneumonectomy via a transsternal transpericardial approach. The patient was alive and free of disease 36 months after surgery.

: Hereby, the case of an 8-month-old girl diagnosed with partial anomalous left pulmonary artery (PLPA) is presented. Echocardiography and computed tomography (CT) examination demonstrated that the anomalous artery originated from the right pulmonary artery supplying the left upper lobe. PLPA is sometimes associated with tracheobronchial anomaly and congenital cardiovascular defects. A relationship between PLPA and Kabuki syndrome has also been suggested. Echocardiography and CT angiography can be used as accurate tools for identifying an anomalous left pulmonary artery and adjacent abnormal anatomic structures.
