Multislice computed tomography findings of two cases with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) is arare congenital disorder that involves drainage of one ormore pulmonary vein to the right atrium or systemic circulation.We report multi-detector computed tomographyangiography (MDCTA) findings of two cases of PAPVRwith the drainage of left superior pulmonary vein into leftbrachiocephalic vein. MDCTA is a non-invasive, usefulmethod for detection of this situation. Multiplanar reformattedimages enables course of anomalous vein, connectionwith the systemic circulation, and accompanyingpulmonary and cardiac anomalies.Key words: Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return,multi detector computed tomography, MDCT
