Abstract
Unilateral pulmonary vein atresia is a rare congenital anomaly that may occur in association with other congenital heart diseases. We report a rare case of left-sided pulmonary vein atresia in a 2-year-old child who presented with recurrent hemoptysis and was managed surgically with left pneumonectomy.
