Persistent extrahepatic right umbilical vein without ductus venosus is a rare anomaly of systemic venous drainage and is reported to be associated with cardiac anomalies. We report the case of an 8-year-old boy diagnosed to have an ostium secundum atrial septal defect, in whom an abnormal vascular channel and its opening in the right atrium in close relationship to the inferior vena cava and coronary sinus opening was identified at operation. Post-operative evaluation of this vascular channel was diagnosed to be an extrahepatic persistent right umbilical vein.
