“…Idiopathic dilatation of pulmonary artery was first reported by Wessler and Jaches in 1923. 54 It has been postulated that the etiology is secondary to a congenital weakness of the vessel wall 55 and/or cystic medial degeneration 56 of vessel wall.…”

Pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare but important entity in the spectrum of pulmonary vascular diseases. The etiologies can be varied and patients can present with non-specific symptoms with the diagnosis being incidental. There is limited consensus regarding the diagnostic criteria and follow-up imaging for patients diagnosed with this entity. Further the management strategies can be variable depending upon underlying disease, etiology, center dependent expertise, and resources available. We review the etiologies, epidemiology, classification, clinical manifestations, and imaging features of pulmonary artery aneurysm. We also review the current management strategies and suggest an algorithmic approach to these patients.

“…IDPA symptoms include dyspnea on exertion, tachycardia, exhaustion, and chest pain. Malviya et al (2017) These symptoms are not significant in diagnosis confirmation, because they are mainly related to the disease's complications from compression of surrounding tissues leading to massive extension, thrombosis, or even rupture. Taussig (1947), Copkiran et al (2014), Puri et al (2011).…”

Idiopathic dilatation of the pulmonary artery defines the presence of a benign enlargement of the pulmonary trunk with or without the involvement of the rest of the arterial tree in the absence of a detectable cardiac or arterial systemic disorder. An IDPA patient’s symptoms and physical examination are not significant in diagnosis confirmation. Imaging techniques such as contrast-enhanced computed tomography, right heart catheterization, and angiocardiogram constitute the foundation of IDPA diagnosis. But an extended observation period is also necessary to exclude other possible dilatation explanation. Our patient, a forty-six-year-old female, was admitted to the Pulmonology clinic of “ShefqetNdroqi” University Hospital with dyspnea, dry cough, vertigo, and fatigue for several months before admission. The patient's contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography revealed a dilatation of the pulmonary trunk. The dilatation of the pulmonary trunk was confirmed with the Cardiac CT, and other abnormalities were excluded.

“…Although we cannot claim causality with this single report, future look out for this possible association is advised, especially in cases of sarcoidosis that are accompanied by hypercapnia. The main differential diagnosis in this case is what has been described as idiopathic pulmonary arterial dilatation,[6] but it is less likely as the diagnostic criteria of which include the exclusion of chronic pulmonary diseases.…”

In this paper we present a clinical case that has improved on our knowledge and our curiosity about sarcoidosis. We report a case of a patient known to have pulmonary sarcoidosis, who presents with respiratory failure with severe hypercapnia. Following thorough investigations this patient was recognized to have three unique yet interrelated aspects of clinical manifestations. He was found to have severe bilateral diaphragmatic hypokinesis, dilated pulmonary vasculature with normal pulmonary pressure, and a state of high output right sided heart failure. We propose an explanation of such a presentation, while we attempted to discuss possible alternative mechanisms. In conclusion, we report this case as the first recognized case of sarcoidosis to be related to diffusely dilated pulmonary vasculature of normal vascular pressure.
