Los aneurismas arteriales pulmonares son entidades muy poco frecuentes. Diversas causas como las anomalías cardiacas congénitas, las infecciones, las vasculitis, las neoplasias, las alteraciones del tejido conectivo, la hipertensión arterial pulmonar, los traumatismos y las complicaciones iatrogénicas contribuyen a su aparición. La mayoría de los pacientes con aneurismas arteriales pulmonares están asintomáticos o presentan sintomatología inespecífica. La etiología y el tamaño del aneurisma, la presencia de hipertensión arterial pulmonar y la clínica del paciente definen la actitud a seguir. Presentamos el caso de una paciente joven con dilatación idiopática de la arteria pulmonar principal (AU)
Pulmonary artery aneurysms are rare. Diverse causes, including congenital heart defects, infections, vasculitides, neoplasms, alterations in connective tissue, pulmonary artery hypertension, trauma, and iatrogenic complications, contribute to their development. Most patients with pulmonary artery aneurysms are asymptomatic or have nonspecific symptoms. The etiology and size of the aneurysm, the presence of pulmonary artery hypertension, and the patient's symptoms will define the management approach. We present the case of a young woman with idiopathic dilation of the main pulmonary artery (AU)
