Two-dimensional echocardiographic and color flow Doppler detection of an unusual pulmonary venous anomaly: anomalous right pulmonary venous return to the right atrium by way of three separate orifices.
In this report, we describe the echocardiographic findings of a patient with anomalous right pulmonary venous return to the right atrium by way of three separate pulmonary vein orifices. The color flow Doppler examination was essential for identification of the pulmonary veins and their connection to the right atrium.
