CTICasesEisenmenger Syndrome
Imaging findings
The patient exhibited massively dilated pulmonary arteries with an atrial septal defect. Echo findings confirmed Eisenmenger physiology, showing a reversal of shunt flow from right-to-left due to severe pulmonary hypertension, along with right ventricular hypertrophy.
Key takeaways
Eisenmenger syndrome results from long-standing untreated shunts leading to severe pulmonary hypertension. Diagnosis relies on identifying the underlying defect and documenting the hemodynamics, such as reversal of shunt flow.
