Background: Asymptomatic, isolated cases of unilateral pulmonary artery atresia may present in adulthood with symptoms such as recurrent respiratory infections, dyspnea, hemoptysis, and pulmonary hypertension. Unlike previously reported patients that underwent surgical management for this pathology, the patient in this report had no chronic history of recurrent respiratory infections, dyspnea, or pulmonary hypertension, making a diagnosis prior to extensive imaging difficult.
Case Presentation: A 55-year-old male presented to our emergency department (ED) with a 3-day history of recurrent cough with 2-3 tablespoons of hemoptysis per episode, chills, and occasional wheezing.
