A term newborn presented with total right and partial left lung agenesis as sociated with total anomalous obstructed left pulmonary venous drainage. Th is unique association with a dramatic prognosis is thought to be due to a d evelopmental insult early in the embryonic formation of the lung and its su pporting vasculature.
