Abstract
Kalbin sol sınırında pulmoner konusa uyan bölgenin radyolojik olarak belirginleşmesi; primer veya sekonder pulmoner hipertansiyon, idiopatik pulmoner arter dilatasyonu ve nadir konjenital anomalilerde izlenebilir. Bu olgu sunumunda, klinik ve hemodinamik bulguları tamamen normal olan bir hastada idiopatik pulmoner arter genişlemesini taklit eden radyolojik görünüm gözlenmiştir. Anjiyografi ve sunî pnömoperikardiyum ile yapılan incelemelerde perikardın belirli bölgelerinde kalınlaşma ve sağ tarafta yapışıklık saptanmış; bulgular, geçirilmiş bir perikarditin sekeli ile açıklanmıştır. Ayırıcı tanı ve tanı yöntemleri ayrıntılı olarak tartışılmıştır.

Abstract
Radiological prominence of the pulmonary conus region on the heart's left border can result from various conditions, particularly pulmonary hypertension and idiopathic dilatation of the pulmonary artery. This case report presents a patient with no clinical or hemodynamic abnormalities but with a radiographic appearance resembling idiopathic pulmonary artery dilatation. Diagnostic studies including angiocardiography and pneumopericardium revealed a thickened pericardium and adhesions, suggesting a sequela of pericarditis as the underlying cause. Differential diagnosis and diagnostic techniques are discussed in detail.
