Overview
The findings on chest radiography varies depending on the type of anatomic variant of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). However, the findings are not useful in making the diagnosis.
Chest X Ray
Unobstructed:
- Snowman sign : A large supracardiac shadow due to anomalous pulmonary vein and persistent left superior vena cava can be seen, which together with normal cardiac shadow forms a snowman appearance.
- Mild dilatation of the pulmonary arteries.
- Mild cardiomegaly
Obstructed:
- Pulmonary vein congestion
- Dilatation of the pulmonary arteries
- Pulmonary edema
