Occlusion of the pulmonary artery is a rare complication of mediastinal tuberculosis. We report on a 10-year-old girl who presented with a tuberculous pericardial effusion in whom subsequent imaging showed a totally occluded right pulmonary artery from tuberculous lymphadenopathy. Diagnosis was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction from a lymph node biopsy. Failure of medical therapy necessitated surgical reconstruction of her right pulmonary artery. Postoperatively she has normal perfusion of the right lung and normal lung function.
