“…The coil embolisation is difficult because of the difficulty in endovascular access to the left atrium and pulmonary venous system. Most frequently, interatrial transseptal puncture from the right atrium is used with the Brockenbrough technique 16. Surgery remains the treatment of choice when the aneurysm is progressively increasing17 or if the patient has recurrent or massive bouts of haemoptysis 18.…”

A non-smoker man in his second decade presented to a medical centre with intermittent haemoptysis over 2 years. The haemoptysis was infrequent initially to be ignored, but later, the episodes increased in amount and frequency. Routine blood tests including coagulation profile showed normal results. The chest radiography and echocardiography were normal. The contrast-enhanced CT scan of the chest showed a cystic lesion with intracystic abnormality and surrounding ground-glass opacity in the left upper lobe. The CT pulmonary angiography and invasive pulmonary angiography showed the abnormality to be a dilated pulmonary vessel draining into the left atrium, thereby confirming the diagnosis of congenital pulmonary varix contained within a lung cyst. The patient underwent a successful lobectomy following which he experienced no further haemoptysis.
