case_images: On evaluation, chest x-ray (Figure 1) revealed decreased volume of the left lung and leftward shifting of trachea; thus, pulmonary CT angiography (Figures 2-4) was performed and the findings were compatible with unilateral congenital left pulmonary artery agenesis and hypertrophied bronchial arteries.
case_images: Pulmonary CT angiography revealed absence of left pulmonary artery at the bifurcation level (axial image).

case_images: Pulmonary CT angiography shows enhancement of right branches of the pulmonary artery while there is no enhancement in the other side.
