Retrosternal Compression Seven Years after Surgical Correction of Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection: Scimitar Syndrome

JOURNAL OF CARDIAC SURGERY, Issue 1 2009
Eva Maria B. Delmo Walter M.D.
Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a mass compressing the right ventricle. Magnetic resonance tomogram showed its exact retrosternal location and nature. A computed tomography-guided drainage decompressed the mass. Because of cystic wall persistence, a surgical extirpation of the whole cystic cavity was deemed necessary. [source]

MRI of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (scimitar syndrome)

JOURNAL OF MEDICAL IMAGING AND RADIATION ONCOLOGY, Issue 1 2003

Summary We report a case of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage into the inferior vena cava (scimitar syndrome). Cine MRI and 3-D contrast-enhanced MR angiography provides an non-invasive diagnostic technique in the evaluation of anomalous pulmonary venous return. [source]

Horseshoe lung and facio-auriculo-vertebral sequence: A previously unreported association

PEDIATRIC PULMONOLOGY, Issue 6 2006
Lisa D'Alessandro MD
Abstract We describe a case of horseshoe lung in an infant with facio-auriculo-vertebral (FAV) sequence that included mild hemifacial microsomia, ear anomalies, a missing left rib, left hemivertebrae (T2,T4), and complex congenital heart disease. Of the approximately 40 cases of horseshoe lung described since 1962, most are reported in association with scimitar syndrome, and only four reported cases were associated with left lung hypoplasia. None of these cases included malformations consistent with a diagnosis of FAV sequence. Pediatr Pulmonol. © 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc. [source]
