Abstract

A case of supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD) in an infant aged 21/2 months is presented. Diagnosis was established non invasively by magnetic resonance image (MRI). Not only did MRI precisely depict the anomalous venous pathway but it moreover securely excluded pulmonary venous obstruction.
