“…Pulmonary varix can be categorized into congenital and acquired types. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Acquired type is caused by pulmonary hypertension. [3,4] Symptoms such as hemoptysis and complications such as dysphagia and middle lobe syndrome secondary to extrinsic compression can occur because of the acquired type and require treatment.…”

“…[1][2][3] It can be categorized into congenital and acquired types, which are characterized by different pathological conditions. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Congenital pulmonary varix is thought to occur as a result of abnormal development during the transition from splanchnic venous drainage in Carnegie stage XIII to pulmonary venous drainage in stage XVI. [11] Although patients with a congenital pulmonary varix are asymptomatic and do not require any treatment, the radiological characteristics of a pulmonary varix are similar to those of a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation, which requires treatment.…”

“…Moreover, true varices are not created by acquired heart disease associated with secondary pulmonary venous hypertension. In the few reported cases of combined rheumatic mitral disease and varices (Nauwerk, 1923;Romanoff et al, 1976), those varices were most probably pre-existent and became wider or regressed partially following progression or regression of pulmonary venous hypertension in these patients.…”

“…So far in the literature 53 cases have been reported (Bartram and Strickland, 1971;BenMenachem et al, 1975;Davia et al, 1974;Gottesman and Weinstein, 1959;Hedinger, 1907;Hipona and Jamshidi, 1967;Moro et al, 1978;Neiman, 1934;Papamichael et al, 1972;Poller and Wholey, 1966;Romanoff et al, 1976;Twersky et al, 1976), but probably many of those cases could not be considered as true varices. True varices are localized malfonnations, most frequently found in the lower hemithorax (Davia et al, 1974;Moro et al, 1978;Romanoff et al, 1976). Generally they are isolated lesions without associated congenital cardiac, pulmonary, or other malfonnations (Romanoff et al, 1976).…”
