title: Left Isomerism of the Atrial Appendages With Sinus Venosus Defect and Anomalous Systemic Venous Drainage.
abstract: We present a case with left isomerism, interruption of the inferior caval vein, anomalous systemic venous drainage with partially anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, and a sinus venosus type of atrial septal defect in the absence of a right superior caval vein. This report is of interest because of a rare combination of these anomalies, which was accurately diagnosed and successfully repaired.
