| Description | Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a rare congenital cardiac defect that may present with cyanosis, cardiac failure and failure to thrive in infancy. TAPVR type 1 has a typical radiographic appearance of the heart termed the snowman. We present a case of an infant with TAPVR type 1 with injuries in keeping with non-accidental injury (NAI) to highlight that children with chronic diseases are at greater risk of this kind of injury and that radiographic evaluation of the chest in cardiac disease plays a role beyond demonstrating the heart and vasculature of the chest. | |
