Abstract
Development of heart along with its vascular system is a complex process taking place throughout the gestation era. Formation of pulmonary veins is rather more intricate as it involves the connection of growing lung bud to the heart tube. Developmental anomalies of the pulmonary veins are rare but significant congenital malformations that affect the embryonic development of the pulmonary vascular system. One such anomaly was found during the dissection of an eightyeight year old cadaver. The article demonstrates the congenital anomaly of the pulmonary vein, its possible cause, its effect on the health of the patient and its clinical importance.
