Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return associated with vascular anomalies of the aorta: multidetector computed tomography findings.
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) is a congenital anomaly that  involves drainage of one to three pulmonary veins directly into the right heart or  systemic venous system, creating a partial left-to-right shunt. This drainage is associated  with cardiac abnormalities such as mitral stenosis and pulmonary stenosis,  patent ductus arteriosus, and atrial septal defects. We report a case of PAPVR  associated with vascular anomalies of the aorta by multidetector computed tomography  in an adult female patient.
