1. Patient Presentation
- An infant boy was born with cardiorespiratory failure and required mechanical ventilation.
- Echocardiography, performed on the 1-day-old infant, suggested a diagnosis of total anomalous
pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) but did not clearly demonstrate the pulmonary vein anatomy. - Low-dose, contrast-enhanced dual-source CT was performed for further evaluation.
