Abstract

Enlarged coronary sinus detected during cardiac examination in the prenatal period is the first finding that raises suspicion for persistent left superior vena cava. In this report, a patient was presented who was referred with the prediagnosis of cor triatriatum sinister in the antenatal period and diagnosed with isolated persistent left superior vena cava (SVC).
