Abstract
We report a case of a 6-day-old neonate referred to us for surgical correction of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. Meticulous evaluation contributed to accurate diagnosis of associated unilateral pulmonary venous atresia. This unique association provides insights into the importance of evaluation of all pulmonary veins using various imaging tools.
