| Popis: | Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare congenital anomaly in which one or more pulmonary veins are connected to the venous circulation. The condition is frequently misdiagnosed, and usually identified by transesophageal echocardiography or invasive cardiac catheterization. We present the case of a 26-year-old female with new onset dyspnea on exertion who was diagnosed with the left superior and inferior pulmonary veins draining into the innominate vein via a vertical vein by two and three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography and multidetector computed tomographic angiography. |
