Supracardiac type of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection: Diagnosis and demonstration by multidetector CT angiography

Pulmonary venous developmental anomalies have historically been evaluated using echocardiography and catheter-based angiography.

Description
Summary:Pulmonary venous developmental anomalies have historically been evaluated using echocardiography and catheter-based angiography. In recent years, however, multidetector CT angiography (MDCTA) and MR angiography have become increasingly important tools for detailed characterization of these anomalies. This case report provides an in-depth review of the radiologic findings in a 15-year-old patient diagnosed with the supracardiac type of Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection (TAPVC). The report emphasizes the imaging features that were instrumental in the diagnosis and underscores the crucial role of advanced imaging techniques in the management of this serious congenital heart defect.
