title: Infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage with unusual presentation.
abstract: Total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD) is a rare entity which forms approximately 0.4 to 2% of all congenital heart disease. The infracardiac type usually involve obstructions on pulmonary venous connections and comprising a quarter of all TAPVD cases. The clinical findings in patients with obstructed infracardiac TAPVD could mimic respiratuary distress of several different etiologies during first hours of life. In this article, we present a case of a neonate with infracardiac type of TAPVD presented with only distinct subcutaneous veins of abdominal and thoracic wall.
