Abstract

Right abnormal pulmonary venous return into the inferior vena cava associated with abnormal fissure, dextrocardia, and systemic arterial supply of a variable degree, are the characteristics of the scimitar syndrome. We report on a patient in whom this rare syndrome was associated with pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas within the involved lung.
