  • Title: Unusual variant of a rare constellation: a left-sided scimitar syndrome with connection to the azygos vein.
    Author: Bratincsák A, Rao RP, El-Said HG.
    Journal: Congenit Heart Dis; 2010; 5(2):174-7. PubMed ID: 20412492.
    Abstract:
    Scimitar syndrome is a rare variant of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return. The syndrome consists of a right-sided abnormal lung segment that is directly supplied by arteries from the aorta and has an anomalous venous drainage to the inferior vena cava. Three cases of left-sided scimitar syndrome have been reported in the literature, but it has not yet been associated with venous drainage to the azygos vein. Herein we report a left-sided scimitar syndrome with anomalous venous drainage to the azygos vein.
