Anomalous pulmonary venous drainage shown by duplex sonography, computed tomography, and plain radiography.

چکیده
In a patient with the scimitar syndrome duplex Doppler sonography was used to show the point of entry of the abnormal pulmonary vein into the inferior vena cava to determine blood flow. Chest radiography and computed tomography also showed the vein descending to the diaphragm.

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine if multidetector-row computed tomography angiography is an effective and non-invasive method for diagnosing anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of 2905 cases from July 2003 to November 2007 in which cardiac multidetector-row computed tomography was used. Of the cases, 393 evaluated congenital cardiopath...
متن کاملTotal Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Drainage in Infants
Thirty-seven infants with total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage have been operated upon at The Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, London, with 13 survivors. Most were rapidly deteriorating when admitted. Cardiac catheterization, angiography, and operation were urgently undertaken to achieve the maximum salvage. Physical examination, plain radiography, and electrocardiography w...
متن کاملThree-dimensional computed tomography showing partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection complicated by the scimitar syndrome.
The patient is a 41-year-old woman who was referred to our hospital because of an abnormal chest radiograph. On admission, she was asymptomatic, but her cardiac silhouette was shifted to the right on chest radiograph. From contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT), we suspected that the right upper pulmonary vein connected to the inferior vena cava. The CT also revealed hypoplasia of the...
متن کاملComputed tomography features of supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in an infant
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare congenital anomaly of the pulmonary veins drainage. In this entity, the pulmonary veins, instead of draining to left atrium, connect abnormally to the systemic venous circulation. A right-to-left shunt is obligatory for survival. Based on its type and degree of pulmonary venous obstruction, TAPVC may result in pulmonary hypertension ...
