Abstract

Congenital vascular anomalies such as pulmonary artery sling and persistent left superior vena cava are rare vascular disorders. We describe a case of a patient who presented with pneumonia and was found to have a pulmonary artery sling as a potential cause of the pneumonia.

Keywords: persistent left superior vena cava; pulmonary artery sling.
