Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare congenital disease characterized by drainage of one or several pulmonary veins into the systemic venous system. It is extremely rare as an isolated anomaly. We report the case of a middle-aged woman with isolated drainage of an enormously enlarged right lower pulmonary vein into the right atrium with significant left-to-right shunt, severe right ventricular enlargement, and pulmonary hypertension.
