We describe a rare form of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in a neonate with major extracardiac congenital abnormalities. The infracardiac communication was hypoplastic, whereas the supracardiac connection had an intrapulmonary course through the left lung. There was an associated atrioventricular septal defect.
