“…TEE is considered more sensitive than TTE, but we could not obtain sufficient information because of the limited acoustic window in the presenting case. MDCT angiography and MRI have gained progressive importance in the non-invasive evaluation of congenital cardiac anomalies [ 7 - 10 ]. In our case, the diagnosis and the anatomical features as the presence and number of anomalous veins were obtained by MDCT angiography and MRI.…”

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC), in which the right and left lower pulmonary veins drain into the coronary sinus (CS), is very rare, and only one case has been reported previously. The diagnosis of PAPVC is difficult, as the symptoms may be not specific. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography and MRI help in the diagnosis of congenital cardiac anomalies. Our case, who underwent closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) 31 years prior, presented with chest tightness and palpitation. MDCT angiography revealed PAPVC with both lower pulmonary veins draining into the CS. We performed surgical repair of PAPVC by the cut-back method. The postoperative course was uneventful.

We present the case of a 34-year-old woman with a rare constellation of congenital cardiovascular defects. She presented with new-onset dyspnoea on exertion and intermittent palpitations. Extensive cardiac workup revealed anomalous drainage of the inferior vena cava and a large secundum atrial septal defect. She underwent surgical repair. Intraoperatively, an additional congenital venous anomaly was discovered, a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection. Specifically, the right inferior pulmonary vein connected to the inferior vena cava, and together, they drained into the left atrium. On conducting a thorough literature review, we believe this is the first reported case in an adult female.
