| Abstract: | Background: Pulmonary aplasia is an infrequent congenital anomaly, the etiology of which is clearly unknown. Other systemic comorbidities such as cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and urogenital system anomalies can be detected in more than half of the patients. It is usually detected during childhood. The patient usually presents in early childhood with recurrent lower respiratory tract infection and respiratory distress. Diagnosis in adulthood is very rare. Case report: A 34 years old female presented with complaints of dyspnoea on exertion, chest pain, dry cough and generalised weakness. Chest X ray revealed white out Right sided hemithorax. Rudimentary right bronchus was seen in FOB images. The patient was treated conservatively and the family members were counseled about the anomaly. Conclusion: Presentation of unilateral lung agenesis in late adulthood, as seen in the current case is extremely rare. As its clinical presentation has a larger range of variability, any adult presenting with opaque hemithorax with ipsilateral mediastinal shift on radiography should always be considered in the list of differentials. |
