Keywords: Coronary sinus; endocardial cushion defect; superior; vena cava
Raghib's syndrome is characterized by the combination of abnormal drainage from the left superior vena cava into the left atrium, the presence of an atrial septal defect, and the absence of a coronary sinus. Although surgical repair of Raghib's syndrome is often indicated, its correction in combination with partial endocardial cushion defect is extremely rare. In this article, we present a 24-year-old female patient with partial endocardial cushion defect accompanied by Raghib's syndrome who was corrected successfully with surgery.
