Abstract

One case of subdiaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous return in a newborn male baby under the impression of respiratory distress syndrome was presented. Isolated form of subdiaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous return was confirmed by autopsy. The pulmonary veins joined a common trunk which was connected to the hepatic vein below the diaphragm for the venous circulation. There were two associated small atrial septal defects and a large patent ductus arteriosus. A brief review of the literature was made.

Keywords :Subdiaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous return.
