2. FIGURE 1
The greater part of an enlarged heart lies in the right hemithorax. The apex is not discernible. The aortic knob is in its usual location, and a large pulmonary segment is seen below it. The hilar and peripheral pulmonary arteries are wide. The lungs are normal (Cáse 1).

3. FIGURE 2
This exposure shows the right ventricle in front of the right atrium. Both these chambers are to the right of the midline. Note the direction of the outflow tract of the right ventricle, and that of the main pulmonary artery ascending from the right to left (Case 1).

4. FIGURE 3
The greater part of an enlarged heart lies in the right hemithorax, with the apex above the right diaphragm. The dilated aorta is on the left. The lungs are oligemic (Case 2).

5. FIGURE 4
Electrocardiogram of Case 3. Note the high R waves around the sternum and the decreasing voltage in the other chest leads taken from the left and right precordium.

6. FIGURE 5
Note the pronounced asymmetry of the chest. The heart shadow is entirely in the right hemithorax (Case 3).

7. FIGURE 6
AP Bucky film shows the anomalous pulmonary vein receiving numerous tributaries in its caudad course. This vein apparently drains the whole hypoplastic right lung. No other pulmonary vessels are visible (Case 3).

8. FIGURE 7
Bronchogram. The right upper bronchus terminates in a blind end. The lower lobe bronchus shows irregular contour. No middle lobe is visible. The bronchus of Nelson is stretched and branches in the upper lung field (Case 3).

9. FIGURE 8
The right hemithorax is smaller than the left. The heart and the mediastinum are shifted to the right. The apex is on the left. An anomalous pulmonary vein is visible near the right heart border, disappearing beyond the heart shadow (Case 4).

10. FIGURE 9
AP tomograms show the large anomalous pulmonary vein running in a semicircle and disappearing below the diaphragm (Case 4).

11. FIGURE 10
The right hemithorax is shrunken. The right pleura is markedly thickened. The mediastinum and the heart are shifted to the right. The apex is on the left side. The appearance is typical for a fibrothorax (Case 6).
