[Unremarkable heart and mediastinal configuration in a newborn infant with totally anomalous pulmonary venous anastomosis to the superior vena cava].
A neonate with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection draining via the right cardinal vein into the superior vena cava had a chest-X-ray unsuspicious for congenital heart disease, and initially was treated for neonatal sepsis. But as the clinical state impaired and cyanosis increased, sectorechocardiography revealed the right diagnosis. The child died soon after corrective surgery.
