  • Title: Meandering pulmonary veins mimicking scimitar syndrome.
    Author: Pawar RS, Raj V, Pujar V S.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2018 Oct; 28(10):1171-1173. PubMed ID: 29991371.
    Abstract:
    Scimitar or pulmonary venolobar syndrome, a rare pulmonary anomaly, consists basically of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the right lung to the inferior caval vein, anomalous systemic arterial supply to the right lower lobe from the descending aorta, hypoplasia of the right lung, and dextroposed heart. We present a rare case with constellation of all these findings of scimitar syndrome, but with the aberrant pulmonary vein draining into the left atrium.
