Abstract

<jats:p>Anomalous drainage of the right superior caval vein into the morphologically left atrium as an isolated cardiac malformation is a rare anomaly. Most patients present with cyanosis. Thus far, about 20 cases have been reported in the literature. We report a case of cyanosis due to this malformation in a male neonate, which was complicated by the meconium aspiration syndrome. The malformation was diagnosed by echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. Surgery resulted in complete recovery.</jats:p>
