Case Discussion
This patient was subsequently referred externally for CTA which confirmed an anomalous right lower pulmonary vein draining into the IVC, in keeping with PAPVR.
Scimitar syndrome represents a combination of pulmonary hypoplasia and partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR).
It almost exclusively occurs on the right side and the anomalous pulmonary vein can drain into the:
- inferior vena cava: most common
- right atrium
- portal vein
