CTICasesScimitar Syndrome
Imaging findings
CT angiography demonstrates anomalous drainage of the right pulmonary veins via a large venous channel (resembling a curved Turkish sword) into the inferior vena cava (IVC) below the diaphragm, associated with right lung hypoplasia and abnormal bronchial lobation.
Key takeaways
Scimitar syndrome (congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome) is characterized by partial anomalous pulmonary venous return of the right lung to the IVC. It is typically associated with right lung hypoplasia, bronchial anomalies, and systemic arterial supply from the abdominal aorta.
