Abstract
Following Doppler echocardiographic evaluation, a 16 hour-old infant underwent successful surgical repair of common pulmonary vein atresia. Investigations for prolonged postoperative ventilatory assistance, including cardiac catheterization and computerized tomography, led to a clinical diagnosis of associated pulmonary lymphangiectasia. Although this has caused continuing tachypnoea, at 16 months of age, he remains otherwise well but with an uncertain prognosis.
