Abstract
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) accounts for approximately 3% of all congenital heart disease. Its diagnosis in adulthood is often tricky as long as clinical symptoms are misleading and sonographic signs are discrete and suggestive of pulmonary hypertension. We report the case of a 65-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension on partial abnormal pulmonary venous return on chest CT.
