Abstract

Horseshoe lung is a rare malformation that is often associated with lung hypoplasia and/or vascular anomalies. We describe a 10-year-old girl with horseshoe lung and unique left pulmonary vein. This is the first reported case with this vascular feature. The patient presented with signs and symptoms of severe pulmonary hypertension and was treated with sildenafil.
