Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return associated with vascular anomalies of the aorta: multidetector computed tomography findings
Folia Morphol 2012;71(2):115-117.
Abstract
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) is a congenital anomaly that
involves drainage of one to three pulmonary veins directly into the right heart or
systemic venous system, creating a partial left-to-right shunt. This drainage is associated
with cardiac abnormalities such as mitral stenosis and pulmonary stenosis,
patent ductus arteriosus, and atrial septal defects. We report a case of PAPVR
associated with vascular anomalies of the aorta by multidetector computed tomography
in an adult female patient.
