“…MPV is a rare pulmonary venous anomaly, also referred to as pseudo-scimitar syndrome or scimitar variant. It has been sometimes confused with the classical scimitar syndrome and pulmonary AVM ( 2 3 ). It is important to distinguish MPV from other vascular anomalies to determine whether to treat or not.…”

“…With the advance in technology, multidetector CT (MDCT), MR angiography, and reformatted images are main diagnostic methods because they can well demonstrate the vascular structure ( 3 ). However, it may be difficult to discriminate between an MPV and pulmonary AVM with a MDCT only like in this case; pulmonary angiography can therefore be helpful.…”

“…A meandering pulmonary vein (MPV) is a very rare pulmonary vascular anomaly ( 1 ). It is characterized by a meandering path with the pulmonary vein draining into the left atrium, and can be confused with scimitar syndrome and pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (AVM) ( 1 2 3 ). MPV is a rare disease with 20 case reports, and few reports on angiography findings have been reported ( 3 4 ).…”

A meandering pulmonary vein (MPV) is a rare pulmonary vascular anomaly characterized by an abnormal course of the pulmonary vein draining into the left atrium. We report the case of a 55-year-old female who was diagnosed with a right MPV on pulmonary angiography. Enhanced chest CT revealed a vascular structure with an abnormal course that drained into the right superior pulmonary vein in the right upper lobe, which resembled a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Pulmonary angiography performed to discriminate between an MPV and pulmonary AVM showed no feeding artery, normal parenchymal staining, and drainage to the left atrium via the culprit vessel. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with MPV. When an MPV is difficult to differentiate from other vascular anomalies on enhanced chest CT, pulmonary angiography can be helpful. By recognizing the angiographic findings of an MPV, unnecessary treatment can be prevented.

“…Right lung and pulmonary artery hypoplasia with bilateral left sided bronchial configuration were observed in association with AUSPV by Goudarzi et al [2]. Most of the reported cases of meandering pulmonary vein are of the right side with very few cases of left sided involvement being described such as the case reported by Aygun et al [11].…”

Anomalies of the pulmonary venous circulation are extremely uncommon. We report a case of an anomalous unilateral single pulmonary vein also referred to as a meandering pulmonary vein. A single large tortuous pulmonary vein was seen on the right side draining into the left atrium with associated ipsilateral absence of the middle lobe bronchus and interlobar fissures. This is considered a variant of the classical scimitar syndrome. The venous anatomy was depicted with considerable accuracy using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) non-invasively.
