Abstract
Evaluation of all echocardiographic views are helpful in diagnosis of anomalies of pulmonary veins connection. In four chamber view enlargement of right heart chambers should raise the suspicion. Both Total and partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage have different anatomic variants. During echocardiography individual pulmonary veins should be evaluated both by two dimensional (2D) and color and pulsed Doppler modalities.
