In a student course of gross anatomy dissection at Kanagawa Dental College in 2008, we found an extremely rare case of the double superior vena cava that has a shunt between the right and left atria of a 81-year-old Japanese male cadaver. The left superior vena cava passed through the space between the left cardiac auricle and the left pulmonary vein and entered the coronary sulcus. Then it opened near the opening of the inferior vena cava as the coronary venous sinus to the right atrium. The upper edge of the interatrial septum was located at the site where the right superior vena cava opened to the right atrium. Accordingly, the right atrium connected with left atrium through this site. We discuss the anatomy and etiology of these anomalous structures with a brief review of the literature.
2008年在神奈川齿科大学的一次大体解剖学学生课程中，我们发现了一例极其罕见的双上腔静脉病例，该病例存在于一名81岁日本男性尸体的左右心房之间的分流。左前上腔静脉穿过左心耳与左肺静脉之间的间隙，进入冠状沟。然后它在冠状静脉窦开口附近开口，作为冠状静脉窦进入右心房。房间隔的上缘位于右上腔静脉开口于右心房的部位。因此，右心房通过该部位与左心房相连。我们通过对文献的简要回顾来讨论这些异常结构的解剖学和病因。
