Abstract
During the fetal period, the pulmonary artery bifurcation revealed the absence of the left pulmonary artery. Instead, an anomalous artery originated from the right pulmonary artery, coursing posteriorly the trachea to the left lung. The diagnosis of PAS was established following prenatal ultrasound screening, which was subsequently confirmed by postnatal echocardiography and CT after delivery.
