Abstract
Pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare entity. It results from various etiologies, congenital or acquired. We present the case of a 62-year-old man with a history of congenital heart disease who presented with dyspnea for 3 years. Angioscan showed an aneurysmal dilatation of the pulmonary artery trunk and its right branch associated with an atrial septal defect with restenosis of the pulmonary valve. The restenosis of the pulmonary valve and the atrial septal defect were therefore considered to be the etiological factors responsible for the aneurysm in our patient.
