Anomalous venous drainage, scimitar syndrome, congenital heart disease.Abstract
33-year-old woman, with no significant history, who presents with dyspnea on sporadic trips to high altitude cities. She was evaluated with multiple imaging tests to diagnose Scimitar Syndrome. A rare congenital malformation characterized by an abnormal connection between the right pulmonary veins to the inferior vena cava, right atrium, or suprahepatic veins. The evaluation of multimodal imaging techniques has an important role in the diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular pathologies, however, in this specific pathology, a simple test like chest X Ray can give the clues to suspect its diagnosis.
