Abstract

Partial abnormal pulmonary venous return syndromes are rare congenital anomalies, in which some or all of the vena pulmonalis drains into the atrium dexter or systemic circulation. Scimitar syndrome, one of the abnormal venous return syndromes, is characterized by right vena pulmonalis draining into the vena cava inferior or atrium dexter. In this article, we presented the multislice computed tomography angiography findings of a 59-year-old female with Scimitar syndrome.
