This is Mr. M, 38 years old History of intermittent chest pain with a type of contraction evolvings in childhood and increased by food.

Coronal thoracic section showing a Pulmonary venous return is ensured by a large pulmonary vein measuring 15mm in diameter, with a vertical path and empties directly at the level of the inferior vena cava which is very dilated.

Axial and sagittal thoracic section showing Pulmonary venous return is ensured by a large pulmonary vein measuring 15mm in diameter, with a vertical path and flows directly to the level of the inferior vena cava which is very dilated Dilation of the right heart chambers. Dilatation of the trunk of the pulmonary artery measuring 38 mm and of the right and left pulmonary arteries and their lobar and permeable dividing branches after injection of contrast product.
