Overview

Case report reveals imaging insights on pulmonary venous obstruction in asymptomatic patients, suggesting careful management.

Key Points

  • To report a case of pulmonary venous outflow obstruction due to fibrosing mediastinitis triggered by histoplasmosis.
  • Case report of a 63-year-old female with a history of Histoplasma capsulatum infection.
  • Utilized multimodality imaging including CT and V/Q scan for evaluation.
  • Conducted digital subtraction pulmonary angiography to assess vascular pressures and obstructions.
  • Confirmed complete obstruction of left pulmonary venous outflow and hypoperfusion of the left lung.
  • Imaging showed calcified nodules indicating fibrosis and elevated pulmonary artery pressures.
  • Decided against intervention due to severe obstruction but minimal symptoms observed.
