Double superior vena cava is a rare anomaly of systematic venous return along with 0, 3 % occurrence of the general population. We account for a patient’s case whose diagnosis was discovered in an unexpected way on the angioscanner and made in suspected pulmonary embolism. In fact, the agioscanner confirmed the existence of two superior vena cava with anastomosis of the left superior vein in the right auricle (coronary sinus).  If isolated, this congenital anomaly has no hemodynamic repercussion.
