Pulmonary hypertension refers to a group of disorders of variable etiology in which there is elevation of pressure in the pulmonary artery, a fact that increases the diameter of this vessel. We present the case of a 27-year-old man, diagnosed with HIV infection, in whom increased caliber of the pulmonary artery and its left branch was documented by CT-scan. HIV-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension was first considered, but echocardiograms did not give evidence of any alteration. It was then decided to perform a functional cardiac magnetic resonance, which showed pulmonary hypertension secondary to supravalvular stenosis, thus explaining the asymmetry of the branches of the pulmonary artery. This finding justifies the importance of considering clinical aspects together with radiologic and echocardiographic studies in order to justify alternative image studies.
