Abstract
Hypogenetic lung syndrome, also known as scimitar syndrome, is a rare and well-known congenital condition that includes hypoplastic right pulmonary artery and lung, right displacement of the heart, anomalous systemic arterial supply to the lung, and a characteristically curved anomalous right pulmonary vein draining into the inferior vena cava. In exceptional cases, the anomalous pulmonary vein may drain into left atrium. We here report a case of a 17-year-old girl with a rare variant of hypogenetic lung syndrome diagnosed by means of multimodality imaging and treated with percutaneous occlusion of the aortopulmonary collateral.
