Abstract
PVOD is an important differential diagnosis for pediatric patients with PH. CT scanning is a valuable tool to image lung abnormalities; the definitive diagnosis can only be made by examination of lung biopsy specimens, which subjects the patient to additional risk. Early listing for lung transplantation is essential, as the mean survival time is only 14 months.
