Imaging findings
Cross-sectional imaging revealed an incidental pulmonary sling in an older adult. The right pulmonary artery originated from the left pulmonary artery and coursed between the trachea and esophagus.
Key takeaways
Pulmonary sling can remain asymptomatic well into adulthood and may be discovered incidentally, particularly when cross-sectional imaging is performed for unrelated pathology.
