The isolated unilateral agenesis of the unilateral pulmonary artery (UAPA) is a very rare anomaly, with a prevalence of 1 in 200 000 population. This abnormality was first described by Frentzel in 1868.1 According to the existing nomenclature of pharyngeal arches, this abnormality occurs as a result of early resorption of the proximal part of the right sixth arch leading to the failure of connection between the right pulmonary artery and pulmonary trunk.2 However, there remains confusion as regards to the definite nomenclature of pharyngeal arches in humans.
