Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) and anomalous pulmonary venous drainage are not synonymous. This has been described in the setting of right isomerism (bilateral right sidedness) where the pulmonary veins are connected anomalously but drain normally to the left-sided morphological right atrium. We describe another situation in right isomerism where normal pulmonary venous drainage is present in the setting of TAPVC.
