  • Title: Scimitar sign with normal pulmonary venous drainage and systemic arterial supply. Scimitar syndrome or bronchopulmonary sequestration?
    Author: Cukier A, Kavakama J, Teixeira LR, Terra-Filho M, Vargas FS.
    Journal: Chest; 1994 Jan; 105(1):294-5. PubMed ID: 8275754.
    Abstract:
    The classic definition of the scimitar syndrome is a triad of hypoplasia of the right lung with anomalous venous drainage and a systemic arterial supply of a variable degree. We report a case in which a scimitar-shaped anomalous vein was observed on the plain chest radiograph, but subsequently a pulmonary angiogram showed that it drained normally into the left atrium.
