Abstract

Congenital superior vena cava (SVC) stenosis is a very rare anomaly especially in pediatric population. Co-existence with obstructed supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) has never been reported. Clinical examination should prompt detailed and focused evaluation for this treatable etiology. SVC stenosis, although causing SVC syndrome, may decrease the severity of pulmonary venous hypertension by limiting the amount of blood in obstructed common chamber. Pericardial patch augmentation can cure SVC stenosis, and may allow for growth potential as well. We describe a case of congenital SVC stenosis in a case of obstructed supra-cardiac TAPVC in a 3 month old infant, managed successfully.
