摘要
Recurrent chest infections can present diagnostic challenges, especially when the underlying cause remains elusive despite initial evaluations and treatments. This case report details the clinical journey of a patient experiencing recurrent chest infections over several months, during which conventional diagnostic approaches initially failed to provide lasting relief. Here, we present the case of a 16-month-old female child who had been experiencing recurrent chest infections since the age of 10 months, ultimately diagnosed as a case of Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return (PAPVR).
