Pulmonary hypertension (PH) diagnosis can be challenging, particularly in young patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We report a 10-year-old female presenting with suspected sinus venosus atrial septal defect (ASD) with Eisenmengerisation, later diagnosed with primary pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) secondary to SLE. She received vasodilators and immunosuppressants, showing partial treatment response.
