Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a rare congenital heart defect, and patients are usually symptomatic at a very young age. Survival to adulthood without surgical correction is extremely rare. We report a 33-year-old woman with a heart murmur and a history of a successful pregnancy. Echocardiogram revealed a large atrial septal defect with suspicious pulmonary vein anomaly. Chest radiograph demonstrated classical 'snowman' configuration. Cardiac catheterisation was consistent with anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. Cardiac CT confirmed supracardiac TAPVR, whereby all the pulmonary veins drain into the anomalous vein and finally to the superior vena cava. She remained asymptomatic and underwent a successful surgical repair.

“…Взрослая популяция ТАДЛВ отличается от педиатри-ческого контингента больных [6,9,12,13,15,24] изолиро-ванными формами порока без обструкции легочных вен, сопутствующих ВПС и гетеротаксии [1,5,7,9,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Исключение составляют 4 взрослых больных с ТАДЛВ и сопутствующим клапанным стенозом легочной артерии/ сужением выходного отдела правого желудочка (ВОПЖ), оперированных в возрасте 26, 47, 52 и 56 лет [9,19,22].…”

“…patients decreased significantly in the last two decades due largely to early diagnosis afforded by advances in Doppler echocardiography and management directed to stabilization and optimization of preexistent clinical conditions. Very few patients survive to old age without surgical correction [4][5][6] , and we found no case in Brazilian literature regarding TAPVD surgical repair in adults. We herein report, however, a patient with supracardiac TAPVD that, although it had been diagnosed during childhood, was corrected only during adulthood, when the worsening of the condition led the patient to seek medical attention.…”
