Paediatric haemoptysis from multiple pulmonary artery aneurysms

The case of multiple peripheral pulmonary artery aneurysms in children presenting with haemoptysis following an episode of bacterial endocarditis is presented. They are extremely rare and clinically non‐specific but critical because early diagnosis is crucial for preventing sudden death from their r...

description The case of multiple peripheral pulmonary artery aneurysms in children presenting with haemoptysis following an episode of bacterial endocarditis is presented. They are extremely rare and clinically non‐specific but critical because early diagnosis is crucial for preventing sudden death from their rupture. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography remains the investigation of choice. Despite no consensus recommendation on the management, a multidisciplinary team should plan the beneficial approach with minimal procedure‐related morbidity and mortality to improve survival. This case report aimed to emphasize the recognition of this rare cause of haemoptysis in children.
