Brown JW, Ruzmetov M, Minnich DJ, Vijay P, Edwards CA, Uhlig PN, Fiore AC, Turrentine MW. It is a type of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return and is one of the several findings in congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome . Baskar Karthekeyan R, Saldanha R, Sahadevan MR, Rao SK, Vakamudi M, Rajagopal BK. A rare but typical finding--case report and review of the literature]. Scimitar syndrome The clinical manifestation and prognosis of scimitar syndrome depends on the amount of the resulting left/right shunt. [Combination of scimitar syndrome and horseshoe lung. Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly essentially requiring surgical management.

FOIA Prevention and treatment information (HHS). Anaesthetic management of patients with Scimitar syndrome for obstetric interventions should be guided by the mode of delivery planned; the degree of arterial-venous shunt present; the severity of PHT and adequacy of ventricular function. [Article in English, Spanish] Fernández-Torres B(1), Fernández-López A(2), Congregado M(3). 2018 Jan;28(1):159-162. doi: 10.1017/S1047951117001603. Scimitar syndrome is diagnosed through radiographic findings, most commonly through the presence of characteristic "Scimitar sign" (A curved Turkish sword) on plain chest X-rays, which describes the shadow created by the right pulmonary vein as it descends toward the cardiophrenic angle, and drains into the inferior vena cava [11]. Surgery for scimitar syndrome: the Melbourne experience. Outcomes after surgical treatment of children with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection. In consequence we proposed four anaesthetic possibilities. After the placement of an epidural catheter and left selective intubation, thoracoscopy with intermittent apnoeas was our first choice, and we could complete the extirpation and avoid excessive complexity. Pediatric Radiology. A man with scimitar syndrome diagnosed with a lung nodule with malignant features in the contralateral lung. Copyright © 2017 Sociedad Española de Anestesiología, Reanimación y Terapéutica del Dolor. Scimitar syndrome was identified in 80 patients, with a median follow-up of 4.5 years.

Treatment decisions are often challenging and it is a dilemma how to treat borderline cases, that is, patients with isolated scimitar syndrome (who often are asymptomatic and might be diagnosed serendipitously).

Scimitar syndrome has been associated with a number of other abnormalities including hypoplastic right lung, anomalous systemic arterial supply to the right lung with or without pulmonary sequestration, pulmonary hypertension, dextroposition of the heart and atrial septal defect (ASD), with ostium secundum being the most common. Scimitar syndrome; also known as congenital venolobar syndrome, Halasz syndrome, mirror-image lung syndrome, hypogenetic lung syndrome, and vena cava bronchovascular syndrome, is a rare congenital heart defect. Although spirometry and stress test did not contraindicate the planned lobectomy, scintigraphy showed a hypoplastic right lung with an uptake of 15%. Scimitar syndrome is a rare vascular anomaly whereby a partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage to the inferior vena cava results in left-to-right shunt. "Scimitar vein draining to the left atrium and a historical review of the scimitar syndrome". Alsoufi B, Cai S, Van Arsdell GS, Williams WG, Caldarone CA, Coles JG. Uncommon variants of the scimitar syndrome in two siblings. Embryology. Infantile scimitar syndrome requires a high degree of suspicion for early referral and management, so we needed to conduct a special diagnostic test. Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly essentially requiring surgical management. The rare combination (3–5%) of an association of PAPVR, hypoplasia of the right lung and dextroposition of the heart is designated scimitar syndrome . This rare congenital malady was first described in autopsy specimens by Cooper1 in London and Chassinat2 in Paris in 1836. It consists in a partial APVR straight to the inferior vena cava [1] with as a further consequence a right lung hypoplasia. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U. Privacy, Help If not diagnosed early, scimitar syndrome can have poor outcomes, especially with the infantile form. Epub 2017 Sep 11. Methods: doi: 10.5830/CVJA-2016-004. Approximately 40% of patients will have an associated ASD. Results: in 1960, describing a syndrome of partial anomalous We describe a multipatch technique that enlarges the left atrium, brings it closer to the scimitar vein, avoids baffle kinking or tension on the anastomosis of the pulmonary vein to the atrium, and enables unobstructed flow in the short to intermediate term. We evaluated risk factors for postoperative pulmonary vein stenosis or death and predictive factors for survival without scimitar vein surgery in patients with scimitar syndrome.

The ‘scimitar’ sign is a characteristic chest roentgenographic finding of a crescent-like shadow in the right lower lung field that is produced by the anomalous venous channel.

Left circumflex coronary artery from the pulmonary artery in scimitar syndrome. 2015 Jan;20(1):31-4. doi: 10.1093/icvts/ivu319. Of 36 patients having scimitar vein surgery, 18 had postoperative pulmonary vein obstruction that occurred with similar frequency after baffle or reimplantation procedures, early or late in the study period, and tended to be more common in infants (P = .10). Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann. Multivariate risk factors for death included systolic pulmonary pressure >0.5 systemic level (P = .007) and left pulmonary vein stenosis (P = .009).
