Bertrand try to avoid the technical designation of "total anomalous pulmonary venous connection." They call the condition simply "snowman heart." Who coined the term is unclear, but it is especially apt. In the X ray, the enlarged, misshapen heart casts a distinctive white shadow shaped like a snowman...
