Abstract
Introduction
Sinus Venosus ASD is a rare entity consistuting 1% of all congenital heart diseases1. 2 variants -superior vena caval and inferior vena caval. 90% are associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection [PAPVC]. Excellent prognosis if diagnosed and operated before 15 Years.
Case Report
A 5 yrs old female who presented with complaints of low grade fever, productive cough -3 days. There is no h/o breathlessness, chest pain, No h/o contact with TB patients. No history suggestive of recurrent Lower respiratory tract infections and congestive cardiac failure.
