Abstract
We report a case of pulmonary hypoplasia associated with renal agenesi a diagnosed in a 46-year-old woman admitted to hospital because of a v iral pleuro-pericarditis. The chest xray raised the suspicion of left pulmonary hypolasia. The CT scan and the Magnetic Resonance Image conf irmed the presence of the congenital lung malformation and detected th e absence of the left kidney. The clinical presentation, radiological diagnosis and embryological basis are described.
