MCQ : CMR-13
Which one could be the diagnosis in this 42 years old woman?
A – Dilated right chambers secondary to severe tricuspid regurgitation
B – Dilated right chambers secondary to atrial septal defect
C – Dilated right chambers secondary to partial anomalous pulmonary venous return
D – Dilated right chambers secondary to pulmonary embolism
Correct Answer is C : Dilated right chambers secondary to partial anomalous pulmonary venous return
In 3D sequence acquisition is shown the anomalous return of right upper and middle pulmonary veins in the superior vena cava. In cine sequences a slight diastolic septal flattening may be noted, suggesting volumetric overload of the right ventricle. QP/QS was 1.9.
