Abstract

We report a case of an infant with asplenia syndrome, isomerism of the right atrial appendages, and totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection who experienced hepatic failure following surgical correction of the anomalous pulmonary venous connection. We describe associated anomalies of the portal venous system.
