SUMMARY Absence of the right pulmonary artery (RPA) is a rare congenital anomaly, with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 200,000 young adults. The disease may be asymptomatic or may present with nonspecific symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, or chest pain. In children, there may be respiratory failure or high pulmonary hypertension. The disease can be associated with other congenital abnormalities such as ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, ductus arteriosus, tetralogy of Fallot... We present 2 cases of RPA examined and treated at the National Lung Hospital for recurrent pneumonia. These two cases did not have a combination of congenital diseases, in which one case had pulmonary hypertension. Both patients received medical treatment and gave good results.
