Abstract

Different from the total connection form, supracardiac partial anomalous venous connection may be asymptomatic for a long time and may be diagnosed accidentally during routine echocardiographic examination. In these cases, performing the suprasternal study is essential for the diagnosis and should be performed in all patients regardless of age, mainly when dilation of the right chambers without associated atrial septal defect is observed.
