A Unilateral Absence of Pulmonary Artery(UAPA), which develops occasionally as one of the associated anomaly in congenital cardiovascular defect like as tetralogy of Fallot, is rare anomaly as an isolated congenital defect. We have recently experienced a case of UAPA in a 9 years old boy, which was diagnosed by perfusion scan, digital subtraction angiography. So we report this case with breif review of related literatures.
