Eisenmenger syndrome

Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) is a form of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) associated with unoperated congenital heart disease and is characterized by congenital heart malformations with reversed or bi-directional shunting through an intra-cardiac or intervascular (usually aorto-pulmonary) communication with the development of PAH.

Paraganglioma

A carotid body tumor (also called paraganglionoma or chemodectoma) is a tumor found in the upper neck at the branching of the carotid artery. They arise from the chemoreceptor organ (paraganglion) located in the adventitia of the carotid artery bifurcation.

	We present a 59-year-old woman with known Eisenmenger syndrome secondary to delayed diagnosis of ventricular septal defect, in whom F-FDG PET/CT provided comprehensive evaluation of both an F-FDG-avid left glomus vagale paraganglioma and also increased right ventricular myocardial glucose metabolism in response to severe pulmonary hypertension in the chronic shunting state.
