Congenital Pseudohorseshoe Lung Associated with Scimitar Syndrome
Horseshoe lung is a congenital pulmonary malformation that is usually associated with scimitar syndrome. This malformation consists of fusion of both pulmonary lobes from the posterobasal segments. The fusion appears in the retrocardiac area, in front of the esophagus and thoracic aorta. Pleural separation of pulmonary lobes distinguishes pseudohorseshoe appearance from a true horseshoe lung. S...

متن کاملThe crossover lung segment: congenital malformation associated with a variant of scimitar syndrome.
Three cases of a congenitally misplaced segment of lung are described. In one case the abnormal segment was identified at thoracotomy; it extended from an origin in the right upper lobe across the midline into the left hemithorax. The remaining two patients, with identical radiographic features, were identified in a review of 24 cases of bronchovascular malformation. In all three patients the c...
متن کاملHorseshoe lung associated with a variant of the 'scimitar' syndrome.
monary venous drainage has been designated the 'scimitar' syndrome because of its typical radiographic appearance of a large, curved venous trunk, usually parallel to the right heart border (Neil et al., I960; Kiely et al., I967). In this condition the right pulmonary veins insert into the inferior vena cava, the right lung is hypoplastic, and the heart is displaced to the right. Usually there ...
متن کاملA rare case of scimitar syndrome with horseshoe lung.
Scimitar syndrome is a rarely seen congenital cardiopulmonary anomaly characterised by partial or complete anomalous pulmonary venous drainage into the inferior vena cava via an anomalous descending vein that runs parallel to the right border of the heart giving an appearance of a curved Turkish sword or scimitar on plain chest radiography. Clinicians should also be aware of other interesting c...
