Congenital stenosis of individual pulmonary veins is uncommon. Of the 49 cases reported, four were seen at the IWK Hospital for Children and are reported here. Plain radiographs show a shift of the heart toward the side of major involvement, Kerley B lines, fluid in the fissures, and interstitial edema of the affected lobes. These findings, while subtle, should nevertheless suggest stenosis. Technetium-99m macro-aggregate lung perfusion scans show absence of or diminished perfusion of the affected lobes. The diagnosis can usually be confirmed with angiography. Congenital stenosis of individual pulmonary veins should be considered in children with repeated pulmonary infections, dyspnea, failure to thrive, hemoptysis, or unexplained pulmonary hypertension.
