Multislice computed tomography findings of two cases with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return
Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2013, Vol 40, Issue 1
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 drainage of left superior pulmonary vein into left brachiocephalic 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. Key words: Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return, multi detector computed tomography, MDCT
