Abstract
Conclusions Although PLSVC is usually asymptomatic, it is important to be aware of its existence, since it may cause problems performing central venous catheterization, pacemaker implantation and cardiothoracic surgery. This anomaly is also associated with high incidence of congenital heart disease, arrhytmias and conduction disturbances. Modern imaging techniques including computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging provide precise diagnosis of this anomaly.

We report a case of a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) with absent right superior vena cava (RSVC)
This venous malformation was identified in a 75-yearold woman during cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which was performed with the suspicion of a paracardiac mass
