ABSTRACT

Scimitar syndrome or congenital veno-lobar syndrome is characterised by a hypoplastic lung that is drained by an anomalous pulmonary vein into the systemic circulation. It is a type of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return. Horseshoe lung is a rare congenital anomaly and mostly accompanied by scimitar syndrome. Here we present a case of a female child who had scimitar vein with right lung and right pulmonary artery hypoplasia associated with horseshoe lung.
