Scimitar syndrome

Discussion:

Imaging features above are in keeping with scimitar syndrome. In this instance, it was the patient's first presentation and this was discovered incidentally.

Scimitar syndrome, also known as hypogenetic lung syndrome, is characterized by a hypoplastic lung that is drained by an anomalous pulmonary vein into the systemic venous system. It is a type of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return and is one of the several findings in congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome.
