Abstract
Aortopulmonary fistulas are most commonly reported as a complication of thoracic surgery or aortic dissection. Formation of congenital fistula between aorta and main pulmonary artery without an accompanying congenital malformation has not been reported yet. A patient who had a milimetric tortuous vascular structure between descending aorta and main pulmonary artery on CT angiography and diagnosed as congenital aortopulmonary fistula and attempted to our hospital with dyspnea, is reported. The aim of this report is to demonstrate aortopulmonary fistula in the multislice CT images and to emphasize considering the aortopulmonary fistula in the differential diagnosis of left to right shunt. © 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
