Abstract :
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) is a rare congenital disorder that involves drainage of one or more pulmonary vein to the right atrium or systemic circulation. We report Multi Detector Computed Tomography Angiography (MDCTA) findings of two cases of PAPVR with the dranaige of left superior pulmonary vein into left brachicephalic vein. MDCTA is a non-invasive, useful method for detection of this situation. Multiplanar reformatted images enables course of anomalous vein, connection with the systemic circulation, and accompanying pulmonary and cardiac anomalies.
