We present an unusual clinical case of a patient with a superior sinus venous atrial septal defect, partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage and persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC). The latter entity is a relatively frequent finding in patients with congenital heart disease (6.1%) and, therefore, can be observed in patients with superior sinus venous interatrial communication. However, PLSVC is clearly associated with coronary sinus type defects (a very infrequent entity). We will use this clinical case to show how to asses both defects by echocardiography, emphasizing the diagnostic value of the available cardiac imaging techniques.
