Resumen

PILA PEREZ, Rafael; PILA PELAEZ, Rafael; HOLGUIN PRIETO, Víctor  y  TORRES VARGAS, Etelívar. Idiopathic Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm. A Case Report and a Review on some Clinical Aspects. Medisur [online]. 2011, vol.9, n.5, pp.497-500. ISSN 1727-897X.

The case of a 38 years old male patient, inveterate smoker and with a history of idiopathic hypertension that was admitted to the University Hospital "Manuel Ascunce Domenech" in Camaguey because of intense chest pain is presented. The chest x-ray showed a well-defined opaque image at the left parahiliar. This supported the performance of several complementary examinations such as a computed tomography and an echocardiography that revealed the presence of an aneurismal dilatation of the left pulmonary artery. The concluding diagnosis was that of an idiopathic aneurysm of the pulmonary artery. Because the patient showed clinical improvements and the surgical treatment was of high risk for his life, it was decided to follow a conservative approach including regular monitoring.

Palabras clave : aneurism; pulmonary artery.
