Abstract
Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is uncommon with an incidence of 0.3%–1.3%. The incidence of absent papillary muscle is unknown. Congenital anomalies of a thoracic venous system associated with absent papillary muscle are very rare. During dissection of a 55-year-old male cadaver, PLSVC with absent papillary muscle was found. Although these congenital anomalies are incidentally found, it is worthwhile following such patients to look for the evolution of any cardiac symptoms. Sound knowledge and awareness of such congenital anomalies are required for radiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, and critical care physicians.
期刊介绍:
Journal of the Anatomical Society of India (JASI) is the official peer-reviewed journal of the Anatomical Society of India.
The aim of the journal is to enhance and upgrade the research work in the field of anatomy and allied clinical subjects. It provides an integrative forum for anatomists across the globe to exchange their knowledge and views. It also helps to promote communication among fellow academicians and researchers worldwide. It provides an opportunity to academicians to disseminate their knowledge that is directly relevant to all domains of health sciences. It covers content on Gross Anatomy, Neuroanatomy, Imaging Anatomy, Developmental Anatomy, Histology, Clinical Anatomy, Medical Education, Morphology, and Genetics.
