Abstract

Although the occurrence of bilateral superior caval veins (SCVs) is not unusual, persistence of the left SCV with atretic right SCV is extremely uncommon in the setting of normal visceroatrial arrangement. We report such a case that was also associated with anomalous pulmonary venous connection of the right pulmonary veins to the solitary left SCV.
