IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY HYPERTENSION
71 year old female with long standing idiopathic pulmonary hypertension, and retroperitoneal fibrosis.
CT in the axial (a,b) coronal (c,d) and sagittal planes (e,f) show an enlarged right ventricle, (b,d,f teal arrowhead) normal sized right atrium (RA) and an atrial septum that is bulging only minimally toward the left and a significantly enlarged MPA (red arrowhead)
