[...]. Left Upper Lobe Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Stricture (Incidental). CTICases. Published August 20, 2015. https://str-case-explorer.pages.dev/c/rgh9z
Imaging findings
CT trauma scan showed a distended brachiocephalic vein connecting to a left upper lobe pulmonary vein, indicating an anomalous connection. Pleural effusions were present, attributed to rib fractures and atelectasis, not the venous anomaly.
Key takeaways
This is an incidental finding of a left upper lobe anomalous pulmonary vein stricture. Such findings typically do not have significant clinical consequences. It is important to differentiate findings related to the anomaly from other issues, such as those related to trauma.
