Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare, progressive disorder. PAH is caused by a wide spectrum of pathologies but the cause remains undetermined on many occasions and patients are classified in the idiopathic group.
Case Presentation: Here we report a young woman with rare congenital visceral abnormalities presenting with severe pulmonary hypertension.
Conclusions: Pulmonary hypertension is a complex disorder. Search for uncommon conditions that lead to pulmonary hypertension is necessary to determine the best management options.
