Los pseudoaneurismas de la arteria pulmonar son una entidad rara en pediatría, de ahí que su identificación temprana y manejo adecuado puedan llevar a un mejor resultado para el paciente. Se describe el caso de un paciente pediátrico, con diagnóstico de pseudoaneurisma micótico de la arteria pulmonar y su resultado después del manejo endovascular. Se hace una revisión de la historia clínica del paciente con previa firma del consentimiento informado y aprobación por parte del comité de ética médica de la institución de salud. Los pseudoaneurismas de la arteria pulmonar son una entidad que debe ser reconocida de manera oportuna para favorecer intervenciones que tengan impacto en la sobrevida y el pronóstico de los pacientes.
Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare entity in pediatrics, where early identification and proper management can lead to a better outcome for the patient. We describe the case of a pediatric patient with a mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the pulmonary artery, and its outcome after endovascular management. The patient's medical chart was reviewed after informed consent and medical ethics committee approval were obtained. Pulmonary artery psuedoaneurysm is an entity that should be promptly recognized to favor interventions that have an impact on the survival rates and prognosis of these patients.
