Summary

A 16-year-old male was referred to our clinic for evaluation of pulmonary hypertension. An isolated anomalous pulmonary venous return of both left pulmonary veins to the innominate vein was diagnosed after echocardiographic and multidetector CT (MDCT) evaluation. Three-dimensional MDCT image reconstructions were used to better clarify this rare type of disease and adequate choice of surgical approach.
