Abstract

Oesophageal varices due to total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is very rare. Additionally, the infradiaphragmatic type is the most common type of oesophageal varices due to TAPVC. Paraoesophageal varices due to stenosis of the vertical vein of supracardiac TAPVC has not previously been reported. We describe paraoesophageal varices developed as a result of a connection between the left lower pulmonary vein and the umbilicovitelline venous system because of stenosis of the proximal vertical vein in supracardiac type TAPVC in a 3-day-old female newborn who presented with general cyanosis, tachypnoea and dyspnoea.
