Pulmonary hypoplasia

Discussion:

This 55 year old man presented to the ED with complaints of new onset left sided chest pain. A chest x-ray was performed and demonstrated unexplained right sided volume loss, and a chest CT was recommended. Incidental findings of right lung hypoplasia and left sided superior vena cava were identified. There was no anomalous pulmonary venous return to suggest scimitar syndrome. The patient's cardiac enzymes and EKG were normal. There was no imaging explanation for his chest pain.
