Abstract

The Chiari network is an embryonic remnant of the right venosus, consisting of a thin, mobile structure connected to the right atrium. Neonates with the Chiari network may present with hypoxemia. We report a case of a neonate with persistent hypoxemia despite improvement in respiratory distress symptoms and increased supplemental oxygen that was diagnosed using real-time telemedicine.
