A case of congenital stenosis of the pulmonary veins and total left
anomalous pulmonary venous return is reported. There was also obstruction
between the left pulmonary veins and left vena cava superior. The diagnosis
was based on 2-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography and was confirmed
by angiocardiography. The 6-month- old baby with these anomalies was
operated upon successfully. These cardiac malformations are very rare
separately and their combination has not been previously reported.
