  • Title: Anomalous pulmonary venous connection: An underestimated entity.
    Author: Magalhães SP, Moreno N, Loureiro M, França M, Reis F, Alvares S, Ribeiro M.
    Journal: Rev Port Cardiol; 2016 Dec; 35(12):697.e1-697.e6. PubMed ID: 27865671.
    Abstract:
    Anomalous pulmonary venous connection is an uncommon congenital anomaly in which all (total form) or some (partial form) pulmonary veins drain into a systemic vein or into the right atrium rather than into the left atrium. The authors present one case of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection and two cases of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection, one of supracardiac drainage into the brachiocephalic vein, and the other of infracardiac anomalous venous drainage (scimitar syndrome). Through the presentation of these cases, this article aims to review the main pulmonary venous developmental defects, highlighting the role of imaging techniques in the assessment of these anomalies.
