    Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a rare congenital heart defect, and patients are usually symptomatic at a very young age. Survival to adulthood without surgical correction is extremely rare. We report a 33-year-old woman with a heart murmur and a history of a successful pregnancy. Echocardiogram revealed a large atrial septal defect with suspicious pulmonary vein anomaly. Chest radiograph demonstrated classical 'snowman' configuration. Cardiac catheterisation was consistent with anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. Cardiac CT confirmed supracardiac TAPVR, whereby all the pulmonary veins drain into the anomalous vein and finally to the superior vena cava. She remained asymptomatic and underwent a successful surgical repair.
