Both diseases are typically diagnosed in childhood, but occasionally asymptomatic cases may be incidentally detected through imaging in adulthood. We reported a 43-year-old female patient with a RAMI and congenital absence of the left pulmonary artery who was relatively asymptomatic until adulthood.
