Presentation on theme: "(A) A frontal view of the chest in a 4-week-old infant presenting to the emergency department (ED) with tachypnea shows a “snowman” or a “figure of 8”"— Presentation transcript:

1 (A) A frontal view of the chest in a 4-week-old infant presenting to the emergency department (ED) with tachypnea shows a “snowman” or a “figure of 8” appearance that is characteristic for supracardiac type of TAPVR. This appearance is secondary to the anomalous pulmonary veins draining into a dilated innominate vein. (B) A frontal view of the chest in a 6-day-old neonate presenting to the ED with severe cyanosis, lethargy, and poor feeding shows a ground-glass appearance secondary to obstructed pulmonary veins and a right pleural effusion. Echocardiogram demonstrated an infracardiac type of TAPVR. (Photo contributor: Shyam Sathanandam, MD.) Source: Chapter 5.
