title: Mitral atresia with premature closure of the oval foramen, right-sided levoatriocardinal vein and thrombus formation in the left atrium.
abstract: We describe a 4-week-old baby with mitral atresia, hypoplastic left ventricle, ventricular septal defect, preductal coarctation and premature closure of the oval foramen whose only outlet from the left atrium was a stenosed right-sided levoatriocardinal vein and who in addition developed left atrial thrombi. Cross-sectional echocardiography was extremely helpful in establishing the diagnosis.
