Just a few points regarding causes of pulmonary stenosis. Firstly, remember that it is a rare condition.
1. Congenital pulmonic stenosis is the commonest type of PS.
2. Amongst the acquired causes, carcinoid syndrome is the commonest cause
3. Though rheumatic fever causes valve stenosis, it rarely afects the pulmonary valve.
4. As a part of eponymous syndrome - Noonans syndrome, Tetralogy of Fallot and Williams syndrome.
Short, and simple. As Sean Connery said in 'The Untouchables' - 'There ended the lesson'.
