Seven cases of absent right superior vena cava with persistent left superior vena cava and normal situs were diagnosed at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. All patients had associated cardiac defects. In two cases the diagnosis was made at autopsy, the first in 1957 and in a 26 day old infant with multiple cogenital defects and the second in 1965 in a 22 day old infant who had pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus. Since 1966 absent right superior vena cava has been diagnosed at cardiac catheterization in five children. Three of these children have had surgery, two for subaortic stenosis and one for an atrial septal defect. One has an insignificant atrial septal defect and the fifth has a ventricular septal defect. The electrocardiogram of four reveals s short P-R interval and a leftward frontal plane axis of the P wave, suggesting a low atrial focus. None has had any significant conduction problem. All five children are living and well, the oldest has survived 13 years postoperatively. Certain precautions are necessary should corrective cardiac surgery or transvenous pacemaker insertion be necessary.
