Abstract
A middle-aged female was reviewed at the gynecology ward due to worsening dyspnea after surgery. She was incidentally found by computed tomography to have isolated unilateral absence of pulmonary artery. Echocardiography revealed pulmonary hypertension and no other congenital cardiac anomalies. Pharmacotherapy was initiated and she showed a good response to the treatment.
