| Popis: | We report a rare case, in which, an interrupted inferior vena cava with anomalous transhepatic continuations is noticed in a variant of scimitar syndrome. The scimitar variant consisting of dextrocardia, hypoplastic right lung and a non-systemically drained meandering right pulmonary vein, which presents the “scimitar sign” on chest radiograph. To our knowledge, such a combination of cardiac and venous anomalies has not been described before. |
