Abstract

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare congenital malformation of the heart, in which all four pulmonary veins drain abnormally to the right atrium by way of an abnormal (anomalous) connection. It is a relatively uncommon congenital defect representing approximately 2% of all congenital heart anomalies.1It is found in approximately 7 persons in 100,000 population .It is associated with atrial septal defect, making it compatible to life.2 Pregnancy associated with uncorrected TAPVC is extremely rare. It is a high risk pregnancy .The outcome depends upon type of TAPVC and cardiac functional capacity. There is high risk of cardiac failure and cardiac arrhythmias during pregnancy. Medical termination of pregnancy is advised at early gestation to prevent complications.
