Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with pulmonary hypertension and unexplained noncardiogenic pulmonary edema.
PVOD may warrant consideration in pulmonary hypertension with unexplained noncardiogenic edema; single case leaves open prospective validation.
Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) represents a rare form of precapillary pulmonary arterial hypertension. We present a young patient hospitalized with progressive dyspnea, with initial workup suggestive of pulmonary hypertension and unexplained noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. His subsequent clinical course was consistent with the diagnosis of PVOD.
