CTICasesPulmonary Varix
Imaging findings
Incidental finding on CT demonstrating a bizarre-looking inferior pulmonary vein on the right, which appeared as a focal out-pouching. There was no evidence of valvular heart disease or left atrial dilation.
Key takeaways
Pulmonary varices can present as incidental focal vascular dilatations. While often associated with mitral valve disease, they can occur in isolation.
