“…There was no shunting into the pulmonary artery or vein or bronchial artery aneurysm. Only two patients with hemoptysis with normal bronchial artery supplying a normal lung have been reported . Neither of our cases had any lung or systemic disease, and their anomalies are rare and unique.…”

Background and Aims: Hemoptysis in children is a rare but potentially lifethreatening symptom of an underlying respiratory tract abnormality. Hemoptysis, when massive and untreated, has a mortality rate of more than 50%. With interventional radiological procedures and surgery, this rate has dropped to 7%-18%. The experience with bronchial arterial embolization in childhood is very limited; only a few case reports with short-term follow-up have been reported. Methods: We report herein two patients with massive hemoptysis due to abnormal systemic arterial bleeding of the lung; neither patient had any lung or systemic disease. In both cases, the bleeding was controlled with endovascular embolization. The first case had bronchopulmonary arterial anastomosis and represents the first reported case with this anomaly. The second case had recurrent massive hemoptysis due to bronchial artery bleeding, and repeat embolization was performed. Results: Both of these children had rare vascular anomalies without parenchymal lung disease and were treated successfully with bronchial arterial embolization. Conclusion: Massive hemoptysis due to abnormal systemic bleeding of the lung in the absence of parenchymal disease is an uncommon and severe symptom in childhood. Embolization can be a treatment option in children with abnormal vasculature bleeding and can be repeated safely when needed.

“…16 To our knowledge, only one previously healthy 11-yearold boy was recently reported with hemopysis, attributed to bleeding from a normal bronchial artery that supplied a normal lung. 32 This child's bleeding was from a normal right bronchial artery, and he did not have any other systemic collaterals with a usual origin or distribution. Therefore, the initial presentation of recurrent or significant hemoptysis in our cases is a unique and rarely reported symptom in children.…”

“…Thorough clinical laboratory evaluations are often required to determine the etiology of the bleeding. A table by Sheikh et al 32 listed the various causes of hemoptysis and required investigations, and the reader can refer to this table for further information. Pulmonary and systemic aortography may be required to identify any significant vascular anomalies or aberrant systemic arteries causing hemoptysis.…”

Severe hemoptysis from dilated systemic aberrant arteries supplying normal lung segments

Hemoptysis is an uncommon presentation in children. It can be caused by several systemic and pulmonary disorders. Bleeding from an anomalous arterial supply to normal lung segments with no underlying pulmonary or cardiovascular disorders was widely reported in adults but is extremely rare in the pediatric age group. Here we describe 4 previously normal children and one girl with chronic lung disease, secondary to bronchopumonary dysplasia, with acute and significant hemoptysis of variable severity. Extensive clinical and laboratory investigations did not identify any reasonable causes for their symptoms. Cardiac catheterization showed dilated anomalous systemic arteries that supplied a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation in one case and normal basal lung segments in the other 4 cases. Embolization of the anomalous arterial collaterals led to occlusion of these arteries and the cessation of further hemoptysis.
