"Double whammy": anomalous pulmonary and systemic venous drainage in a patient with scimitar syndrome

Cardiol Young. 2013 Oct;23(5):738-9. doi: 10.1017/S1047951113000553.

Abstract

Anomalously draining right pulmonary veins are expected with scimitar syndrome, but systemic venous abnormalities are rare. We present an unusual case of a female patient with scimitar and an interrupted inferior vena cava.
