Zusammenfassung:Aneurysms of lobar branches of pulmonary artery are extremely rare with few reported cases in literature. The exact etiopathogenesis of pulmonary artery aneurysms is not clearly understood and no clear guidelines on their management is available. Aneurysms of the secondary and tertiary branches appear to be even more uncommon than those of the trunk and primary branches. Here we report an unusual case of young female with multiple pulmonary artery aneurysms in bilateral lungs with fusiform dilation of main pulmonary trunk and a small patent ductus arteriosus.
