Bronchial and Arterial Anomalies with Drainage of the Right Lung into the Inferior Vena Cava By NICHOLAS
نویسنده
چکیده
Three cases of anomalous pulmonary venous return to the inferior vena cava are presented and 18 previously reported cases are also analyzed. The clinical, radiographic, circulatory and pulmonary function, and anatomic features are carefully detailed. In particular, associated vascular and bronchial anomalies in the lungs were found by preparation of vinylite casts of the pulmonary vessels and bronchial casts; they are of great significance in planning and executing surgical therapy.

متن کاملA case report of variant scimitar syndrome
Background: Scimitar syndrome (SS) or congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome is a rare anomaly, most commonly including partial pulmonary venous drainage into the inferior vena cava, right lung hypoplasia, dextroposition of the heart, and anomalous systemic arterial supply from aorta or one of its branches to the right lung. Case report: A 10-day-old female infant was referred to our hospital...
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 کاملThree-dimensional imaging for thoracoscopic resection of complex lung anomalies
BACKGROUND Building surgical strategies for complex lung anomalies such as congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome is difficult because of their rarity and variance. Using three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT), we can determine strategies safely. We describe a 27-year-old man with multifocal pulmonary malformations who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) using 3D-CT. ...

Background: Neonatal thrombotic diseases can cause mortality or serious morbidity and disability.Case report: In this report, we present a case of neonatal inferior vena cava thromboembolism with several underlyingfactors. Hereditary thrombophilia and genetic mutation in plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and MTHFR A1298C genesin conjunction with cleft palate resulted in poor l...
