Both partial abnormal pulmonary venous connection with an intact interatrial septum and extralobar pulmonary sequestration are rare entities. In this article, we report a 19-month-old female patient who was in close follow-up since initially diagnosed when she was three months old. In admission, she was suffering from exertional dyspnea for the last two months. Surgical treatment was decided due to the increased ratio of pulmonary to systemic flow level. A tandem surgery was performed by cardiovascular and pediatric surgeons through a median sternotomy, respectively. The surgical process and intensive care period were uneventful.
