Proximal interruption of the right pulmonary artery: A rare anomaly
TL;DR: A case of a 21‐year‐old woman with cyanosis where computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed a complete absence of the mediastinal part of the right pulmonary artery with the normal intrapulmonary vascular network, receiving supply from multiple collateral vessels is reported.

Abstract: We report a case of a 21‐year‐old woman with cyanosis where computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed a complete absence of the mediastinal part of the right pulmonary artery with the normal intrapulmonary vascular network, receiving supply from multiple collateral vessels. The case also highlights the various differential diagnoses and the role of CT angiography in arriving at the correct diagnosis.

TL;DR: It is evident that this lesion must be considered in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension and cyanotic congenital heart disease, and frequently undiagnosed and may be more common than is generally appreciated.
