Abstract
Our report describes a case of infradiaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous return diagnosed by MR in a newborn with an interruption of the aortic arch with ventricular septum defect and anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. The severity of the congenital cardiopathy did not permit surgical treatment and the infant died soon after. Pathology confirmed the MR findings. Magnetic resonance not only complements echocardiography but also can be used for patients in intensive care and can in our case avoid angiography.
