摘要
我们为一位长期呼吸困难的女性提供了一个罕见的肺通气-灌注(V/Q)闪烁扫描结果。胸部 CT 显示右侧肺容量减少,这引起了人们对可能存在的阻塞性支气管炎或 Swyer - James - MacLeod 综合征的担忧;然而,右肺动脉无法显影。随后的 V/Q 扫描显示整个右肺没有灌注,通气量减少,与右肺动脉缺失一致。该患者的临床病程和影像学特征与 Swyer - James - MacLeod 综合征相似,后者通常在 V/Q 扫描中表现为单肺或单叶相匹配的灌注缺损。该病例强调了采用多模态成像方法进行诊断的重要性。
Unmasking of Agenesis of Right Pulmonary Artery with Unilateral Absence of Perfusion on Lung Scintigraphy
We present a rare fi nding on lung ventilation – perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy for a woman with longstanding dyspnea. CT of the chest showed volume loss on the right side, which raised concern about possible bronchiolitis obliterans or Swyer – James – MacLeod syndrome; however, the right pulmonary artery could not be visualized. A subsequent V/Q scan showed absence of perfusion and decreased ventilation to the entire right lung, consistent with agenesis of the right pulmonary artery. The patient ’ s clinical course and imaging features mimicked Swyer – James – MacLeod syndrome, which usually presents with a matched perfusion defect in a single lung or lobe on V/Q scanning. This case highlights the importance of a multimodality imaging approach to achieve a diagnosis.
