Summary

Pulmonary venoocclusive disease-2 is an autosomal recessive subtype of primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH; see 178600). It is characterized histologically by widespread fibrous intimal proliferation of septal veins and preseptal venules, and is frequently associated with pulmonary capillary dilatation and proliferation. The disorder can cause occult alveolar hemorrhage. High-resolution CT imaging of the chest shows patchy centrilobular ground-glass opacities, septal lines, and lymph node enlargement (summary by Eyries et al., 2014). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of pulmonary venoocclusive disease, see PVOD1 (265450). [from OMIM]
