Abstract : Persistent left superior venacava (PLSVC) is a venous anomaly of the thorax that may affect up to 2% of the general population. Absence of right-sided superior venacava with PLSVC is rare. PLSVC may be an isolated finding without any structural heart disease or may be associated with congenital heart diseases in up to 10% of cases,[1] such as atrial septal defect, tetralogy of Fallots, cor triatrium, and mitral stenosis. It is the most common thoracic anomaly reported.
