Abstract
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) encompasses a specific group of rare congenital cardiovascular anomalies that are caused by the abnormal return of one or more, but not all, of the pulmonary veins directly to the right atrium or indirectly through a variety of venous connections from the anomalous pulmonary vein. It is frequently associated with other congenital heart disease, most commonly atrial septal defect. The overall incidence is estimated to be between 0.4%-0.7%.  In patients with isolated multiple pulmonary vein involvement, signs and symptoms are dependent upon the degree of left-to-right shunting. Hereby, we highlight the utility of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging as a reliable non-invasive tool in diagnosis of rare congenital anomalies along with planning the management.
