Abstract
Partial anomalous pulmonary vein connection (PAPVC) is a rare congenital
abnormal cardiac defect involving the pulmonary veins draining
into the right atrium (RA) directly or indirectly by venous connection.
Ninety percent of PAPVCs are accompanied by atrial septal defect
(ASD). To our knowledge, there is no previous report of PAPVC with
ventricular septal defect (VSD) without ASD in Korea, and in this
paper, we report the first such case. A 2-day-old girl was admitted
into the Chonnam National University Hospital for evaluation of a
cardiac murmur. An echocardiogram revealed perimembranous VSD
without ASD. She underwent patch closure of the VSD at 5 months
of age. Although the VSD was completely closed, she had persistent
cardiomegaly with right ventricular volume overload, as revealed by
echocardiography. Three years later, cardiac catheterization and chest
computed tomography revealed a PAPVC, with the right upper pulmonary
vein draining into the right SVC. Therefore, correction of the
PAPVC was surgically performed at 3 years of age. We conclude that it
is important to suspect PAPVC in patients with right ventricular volume
overload, but without ASD.
