Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return anomaly: Case report

Abstract

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return anomaly (PPAVR) is a rare congenital anomaly, and it is defined as the drainage of one or more pulmonary vein to the right atrium or systemic circulation. We evaluated multidetector computed tomography angiography findings of a case with of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return.

Parsiyel anormal pulmoner venöz dönüş anomalisi: Olgu sunumu

Abstract

Parsiyel anormal pulmoner venöz dönüş anomalisi (PAPVD) nadir bir konjenital anomaldir ve bir veya daha fazla pulmoner venin sağ atrium veya sistemik dolaşıma drene olması olarak tanımlanır. Bu yazıda, PAPVD anomalisi olan olgunun, çok kesitli bilgisayarlı tomografi anjiyografi bulguları değerlendirildi.
