Persistence of a single pulmonary vein in a child.
Persistence of a single pulmonary vein with normal pulmonary venous return is a rape and unusual radiographic finding. We report such a case with the venous opacity partially visible on the right border of the heart on a plain frontal chest film. MRI showed beautifully the pulmonary vein and can now replace angiocardiography.
