Abstract
A young woman presenting with breathlessness and a normal chest roentg enogram was found to have unilateral absent lung perfusion on an isoto pe scan. This was due to a bronchogenic cyst obstructing the right pul monary artery. This is a rare cause of unilateral absence of lung perf usion and an unusual mode of presentation of a bronchogenic cyst.
