Abstract
One case of localized stenosis of the extrapulmonary portion of pulmonary veins is reported in a 3 years old child. The chest X-Ray showed a rounded and pulsatile opacification over the right hilum and on angiocardiography the right superior pulmonary vein looked very dilated. 20 other cases of segmental stenoses of pulmonary veins were collected from the literature.
