CTICasesVariant of Levoatriocardinal Vein
▶ Watch on YouTube — age-restricted, cannot embed here
Imaging findings
A pulmonary vein exhibits anomalous drainage via a vertical vein ascending to the brachiocephalic vein. Additionally, there is an unusual direct connection between this vertical vein and the left atrium, creating an anomalous pathway for pulmonary venous return.
Key takeaways
This case represents a rare and unusual variant within the spectrum of levoatriocardinal veins. Levoatriocardinal veins typically involve an abnormal connection between a pulmonary vein or the left atrium and a systemic vein, often the brachiocephalic vein. Such complex anatomical variations highlight the diversity of congenital vascular anomalies.
