CTICasesPulmonary veno-occlusive disease
Imaging findings
Chest CT demonstrates severe pulmonary arterial hypertension with right ventricular hypertrophy/dilation, in the absence of chronic thromboembolic disease, showing diffuse ground-glass opacities and septal lines.
Key takeaways
Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease is a rare cause of pulmonary hypertension that shares clinical and radiographical features with pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis. It presents with ground-glass centrilobular nodules, septal lines, and pleural effusions.
