A practical summary of the most frequent findings are presented when making a prenatal diagnosis of abnormal pulmonary venous return. It is described how it is important to visualize the retrocardiac area routinely, especially using the 4-chamber cut-off plane. Knowing the prenatal echocardiographic characteristics of this anomaly is important due to the difficulty of its diagnosis.
