[Unusual diagnosis of partial left abnormal pulmonary venous return in neonate].
The authors report on a case of a newborn with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return of the lower left pulmonary vein. Diagnosis was performed during the introduction of a central venous catheter. The complications of partial anomalous pulmonary venous rely principally in the risk of endothelium damage and subsequent pulmonary arterial hypertension.
