Case details a rare dual venous anomaly causing cyanosis in a neonate, highlighting embryogenesis issues.
A term neonate presented on day 1 with severe cyanosis and metabolic acidosis. Echocardiography and computed tomography angiography revealed a cardiac-type total anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the coronary sinus with anomalous inferior vena cava drainage to the left atrium. Despite intensive management, the infant died. This exceptionally rare dual venous anomaly illustrates abnormal incorporation of a venous pole during cardiac embryogenesis.
