Özet
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly in which the pulmonary veins fail to connect with the left atrium and connect directly to the right atrium or to one of the systemic veins. Early diagnosis and surgical correction is highly important for survival. In the evaluation of TAPVC, imaging methods such. as echocardiography, computed tomography (CT) angiography, magnetic resonance (MR) angiography, and catheter angiography have been used. We reported a rare case of infracardiac type of TAPVC draining into the portal vein at 2-mounth-old infant who was admitted to the hospital with shortness of breath and mild cyanosis. The images demonstrating TAPVC between the portal vein and the pulmonary veins with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography were also shown. (Hong Kong j.emerg.med. 2011;18:331-334)
