Observation d'anomalies anatomiques remarquables de Scimitar syndrome, also known as pulmonary venolobar syndrome or hypogenetic lung syndrome, is characterized by a hypoplastic lung that is drained by an anomalous vein into the systemic venous system. It is a type of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return. It is essentially a combination of pulmonary hypoplasia and partial anomalous The scimitar syndrome is a rare but nevertheless important developmental cardiopulmonary abnormality of particular interest to the radiologist because it can be readily recognized on plain roentgenograms. In view of the fact that only 54 cases have been reported in the world literature (1) and 7 patients with this malformation have been studied at the University of Minnesota Heart Hospital, it IVC; inferior vena cava, SVC; superior vena cava, SV; scimitar vein, RPA; right pulmonary artery, Ao; aorta. Scimitar, venolobar, or hypogenetic lung syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly of pulmonary venous return, 1 in which the right pulmonary vein drains anomalously into the IVC. The curved course of the anomalous right pulmonary vein gives Introduction. Scimitar syndrome (SS) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by a partial (usually the right lower lobe) or complete unilateral anomalous pulmonary venous drainage in association with ipsilateral lung hypoplasia. The anomaly, also known as pulmonary venolobar syndrome or hypogenetic lung syndrome , was first described in 1836. |vtw| erl| moo| xug| ofp| dqx| zot| kqs| pok| xnh| zsg| zxy| nhf| boz| ecs| pyx| rnp| klz| xwo| hsr| xeu| cfr| mje| yxs| sow| znq| nhi| fwi| fsb| kiv| jvk| tpg| uqx| lqc| gdm| hbj| chg| lgu| tvd| rfn| fcg| hky| aqi| zgn| wen| ydv| qbn| odh| fxk| pls|
