Case Studies

Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease: a case report and a review of therapeutic possibilities

TW De Vries, JJ Weening, and RJ Roorda

We describe the observation of a 12 yr old girl who died of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD). Diagnosis was based on histological examination of an open lung biopsy. The differential diagnosis, pathogenesis and possible therapies are discussed. Although medical therapy can sometimes give some temporary relief, lung transplantation might offer these patients a better chance of survival and a better quality of life.
