In patient P10, left-sided partial pulmonary venous connection to the innominate vein was suspected, and cardiac CT and pulmonary angiography were performed to confirm this (Figures9and 10). Dynamic cardiac CT of the upper lobe of the left lung revealed partial anomalous venous drainage through a vertical vein, which in turn drained into the brachiocephalic vein; this scenario was suggestive of PAPVD. The hemiazygos vein drained posteriorly into an anomalous vertical vein at the lower border of the T4 vertebral level, which was 1.7 cm below the confluence of anomalous vertical vein and the brachiocephalic vein. The distance from the anomalous vein hilum to the opening of the hemiazygos vein was 1.3 cm. The other three pulmonary veins drained into the left atrium.
