Abstract Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital cardiovascular malformation that includes a partially anomalous drainage of the pulmonary veins in the inferior vena cava, right pulmonary hypoplasia, and systemic-pulmonary collaterals originating from various segments of the aorta. We present a case of Scimitar syndrome with associated intracardiac lesions and a large arterial conduct supplying the right lung, originating from the abdominal aorta and draining in the inferior vena cava.

Scimitar syndrome or Felsons veno-lobar syndrome is a very rare congenital disease characterized by a combination of cardiopulmonary abnormalities, including partial right-sided pulmonary venous drainage to the inferior vena cava, the inferior cavo-atrial junction, or low on the right atrium. We report the case of a 53-year-old female patient who presented with recent gradually worsening dyspnea. The diagnosis was suspected on the chest x-ray and confirmed on Cardiac echography andComputed Tomography scan that showed a wide collector gathering the three right superior pulmonary veins that joins the lower part of the superior vena cava, thus joining the right atrium while the right inferior pulmonary vein is drained into the inferior vena cava. The patient was treated surgically by performing a derivation of the right superior pulmonary venous collector to the left atrium with a tricuspid annuloplasty with a good outcome.

Abstract Background: Left-lateral tilt position is used to reduce assumed aortocaval compression by the pregnant uterus. Methods: Magnetic resonance images of 10 singleton parturients at full term and 10 healthy nonpregnant women were obtained for measurement of the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava volume between the L1–L2 disk and L3–L4 disk levels in both the supine and left-lateral tilt positions (15°, 30°, and 45°) maintained by insertion of a 1.5-m-long polyethylene foam placed under the right side of the parturient’s body. Results: Aortic volume did not differ significantly between parturients and nonpregnant women in the supine position (12.7 ± 2.0 vs.12.6 ± 2.1 ml, mean ± SD; mean difference, –0.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], −2.0 to 1.9; P = 0.95). Inferior vena cava volume in the supine position was significantly lower in parturients than in nonpregnant women (3.2 ± 3.4 vs.17.5 ± 7.8 ml; mean difference, 14.3; 95% CI, 8.3–20.2; P < 0.001). Aortic volume in parturients did not differ among left-lateral tilt positions. Inferior vena cava volume in the parturients was not increased at 15° (3.0 ± 2.1 ml; mean difference, −0.2; 95% CI, −1.5 to 1.2; P > 0.99), but was significantly increased at 30° (11.5 ± 8.6 ml; mean difference, 8.3; 95% CI, 2.3–14.2; P = 0.009) and 45° (10.9 ± 6.8 ml; mean difference, 7.7; 95% CI, 2.2–13.1; P = 0.015). Conclusions: In parturients, the aorta was not compressed, and a 15° left-lateral tilt position did not effectively reduce inferior vena cava compression.

Cardiovascular Anomalies

With the use of sophisticated imaging modalities, congenital anomalies of the inferior vena cava and its tributaries, such as agenesis of the hepatic vena cava, are becoming more and more commonly encountered. Scimitar syndrome, also called venolobar syndrome and hypogenetic lung syndrome, is a rare pulmonary vascular anomaly of the right lung that can sometimes be associated with some cardiovascular anomalies. We present here a case with agenesis of the hepatic vena cava associated with scimitar syndrome.

A newborn female infant was found to have a unique and previously unreported group of anomalies: ( 1) mitral and aortic atresia with a highly obstructive atrial septum; ( 2) hypoplasia of the right lung with a crossover segment involving the right lower lobe; ( 3) normally connected pulmonary veins, two from the left lung and one from the right; and ( 4) a large anomalous branch of the right pulmonary vein of scimitar configuration that anastomosed with the normally connected right pulmonary vein and with the inferior vena cava (IVC). The scimitar vein appeared obstructed at its junction with the right pulmonary vein and at its junction with the inferior vena cava within the hepatic parenchyma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a scimitar-like vein coexisting with mitral and aortic atresia and connecting both with the right pulmonary vein and with the inferior vena cava. The highly obstructed left atrium was partially decompressed by retrograde blood flow via the normally connected right pulmonary vein to the anomalous scimitar venous pathway and thence to the inferior vena cava via a pulmonary-to-IVC collateral vein.

The gonadal arteries normally arise from the abdominal aorta. There are reports about the variant origin of these arteries. In the present study, we investigated the origin and course of the gonadal arteries and clinical implications of variant gonadal arteries are discussed. Out of 60 dissections, in 55 cases the gonadal artery was seen arising from abdominal aorta. In the remaining 5 cases, gonadal artery of renal origin was present in 3 cases, two on right and one on left side and of middle suprarenal origin was present in 2 cases on the left side. The present study agreed with the text book account i.e. right testicular artery passing anterior to inferior vena cava in majority of the cases i.e. 27 (90%). In the remaining 3 cases (10%), the right testicular artery was posterior to inferior vena cava. In our study, out of a total of 60 dissections, 57 dissections confirmed to type I pattern (95%). In 2 cases (3.3%) (11 M, 16 M) a type II pattern was seen on the right side. In 1 case (1.7%) (20 M), the left testicular artery arose directly from the aorta and arched over the renal vein giving a type III pattern. Awareness of variations of the testicular arteries such as those presented here becomes important during surgical procedures like varicocele and undescended testes. The variations described here are unique and provide significant information to surgeons dissecting the abdominal cavity.

Background. “Scimitar” syndrome is a rare congenital malformation with a frequency of 2 per 100,000 newborns. The syndrome is manifested by complete abnormal drainage of the pulmonary veins of the right lung into the inferior vena cava. According to the literature, a typical symptom of scimitar syndrome can be detected on radiographs in no more than 1/3 of patients. Only complex radiation diagnostics with the inclusion of multispiral computed tomographic angiography allows to diagnose “scimitar” syndrome, determine all its components, clarify the anatomical features and determine the volume and tactics of further cardiac surgery. Objective of the present clinical case is to assess the role of radiation research methods in the primary diagnosis and control of surgical treatment of scimitar syndrome. Materials and methods. A 39-year-old patient with a history of open arterial duct ligation and complaints of fatigue, shortness of breath arising from household loads was examined. According to the results of the chest x-ray and MSCT angiography of the chest organs, “scimitar” syndrome was diagnosed, the patient underwent a two-stage cardiosurgical treatment with the assessment of the results by MSCT angiography. Results. According to the results of radiation studies, the patient revealed a rare congenital malformation — “scimitar” syndrome. Conclusion. MSCT angiography of the chest is a highly informative, minimally invasive diagnostic method for the scimitar syndrome. MSCT angiography of the chest allows you to visually and accurately visualize the type of abnormal drainage, the course and place of the confluence of the collector, the presence of anastomoses with the left heart, which directly affects the definition of tactics for surgical correction of the disease. MSCT angiography of the chest allows you to evaluate the results of surgical treatment.
