Abstract

Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital abnormality. Clear anatomic definition is an important issue before operation. We report definition of both abnormal pulmonary venous drainage and anomalous systemic arterial supply by gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography and three-dimensional computerized tomography in an eight month-old infant with scimitar syndrome. The presented case study confirms that these noninvasive diagnostic tools can successfully be used to provide valuable information about vascular anatomy in infants with scimitar syndrome.
