title: Magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of anomalous pulmonary venous connections.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To illustrate the morphological and functional magnetic resonance findings for total and partial anomalous pulmonary venous connections as well as of the most common complications after surgery.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The magnetic resonance findings are fundamental in defining the type of anomalous connection, deciding on the treatment, planning the surgery, and detecting postsurgical complications.
