Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a rare anomaly of the thoracic venous system. Case Report. We present a case of a patient with isolated asymptomatic PLSVC, who was diagnosed because of dyspnea revealing an associated asthma. An 18-year-old male patient complained of paroxystic sibilant dyspnea. He did not have any anomaly in physical examination. The chest X-ray revealed cardiomegaly with a widening of lower mediastinum. The electrocardiogram does not show any anomaly. Echocardiography showed the PLSVC. The thoracic contrast computed tomography of the chest showed ecstasies of the right cardiac cavities and a double superior vena cava. The patient did not have similar family cases. Respiratory functional explorations led to the diagnosis of an associated asthma. Currently, he is followed up periodically. Asthma was improved with inhaled corticosteroid treatment. Conclusion. PLSVC is rare but can have important clinical implications. Associated severe cardiac malformations must be systematically sought.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/5597105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,21]],"date-time":"2021-06-21T22:50:09Z","timestamp":1624315809000},"page":"1-3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Isolated Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava Revealed by an Associated Asthma"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"given":"I.","family":"Bachouch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonology Department Pavilion 4, Abderrahmen Mami Hospital, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8589-7026","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"N.","family":"Belloumi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonology Department Pavilion 4, Abderrahmen Mami Hospital, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Attia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Abderrahmen Mami Hospital, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"Chermiti Ben Abdallah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonology Department Pavilion 4, Abderrahmen Mami Hospital, Tunisia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine of Tunis, University of Tunis El Manar, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Hantous Zannad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Abderrahmen Mami Hospital, Tunisia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine of Tunis, University of Tunis El Manar, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Fenniche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonology Department Pavilion 4, Abderrahmen Mami Hospital, Tunisia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine of Tunis, University of Tunis El Manar, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"1","first-page":"164","article-title":"Persistent left superior vena cava with absent right superior vena cava: a case report and review of the literature","volume":"21","author":"O.
