Abnormal pulmonary venous flow patterns on fetal echocardiography and a nutmeg lung pattern on fetal magnetic resonance imaging are seen in patients with pulmonary venous stenosis. The association between these findings and the degree of pulmonary venous stenosis remains unknown. We report an extremely rare case of a fetus diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome complicated by an absent atrial septum and supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection with left pulmonary venous congestion. This case suggests that compared to non-pulsatile continuous pulmonary venous flow, the nutmeg lung pattern can only be observed with severe pulmonary congestion and advanced pulmonary lymphangiectasia.

AbstractA neonate weighing 2.8 kilograms underwent the staged hybrid procedure for palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Within 6 hours following placement of a stent to retain patency of the interatrial communication, the infant developed second degree atrioventricular block, which resolved within 24 hours. Four days later, the patient developed complete atrioventricular dissociation. Removal of the stent was followed by recovery of atrioventricular conduction.
