Coronary sinus (CS) defects are rare congenital cardiac anomalies that occur in isolation or with other congenital heart diseases. Persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) is a relatively common entity that usually drains into the CS, is of no hemodynamic consequence, and is easily diagnosed on echocardiography by a dilated CS and an antegrade flow toward the heart. However, a combination of LSVC and CS defect may reverse its flow direction and CS dilation may be absent.
