Interrupted pulmonary artery is a very rare congenital
abnormality. It may be detected at an early age or
in adulthood. It may be associated with congenital
cardiovascular defects. However, it is usually isolated
and detected incidentally in adults. In this article, we
present clinical and radiological findings of a 50-year-old
female patient with interrupted right pulmonary artery and
stenosis of the inferior pulmonary veins in the affected
lung, in light of the literature review.
