Abstract

Changes of lymphatic system, vascular disease during pulmonary hypertension or aneurysms are very often considered to be a cause of wide pulmonary hilus. However, we should remember developmental anomaly of pulmonary artery, too. We present a case of a patient hospitalized very often due to necessity of diagnostic wide, polycyclic pulmonary hilus. Only digital subtraction angiography allowed us to know the reason of wide pulmonary hilus as the developmental anomaly of pulmonary artery.
