Scimitar syndrome (or Halasz Syndrome): description of a case originating in adulthood

Hypogenetic right lung with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return and accessory diaphragm: a case of “scimitar lung”

“…No evidence has implicated common teratogens (e.g., drugs, infections) in the genesis of PAPVC. No evidence for a genetic predisposition has been reported [31], though it is reportedly seen with Turner syndrome [36].…”

“…Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR), additionally recognized as partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC), is an inherited cardiac circulatory condition; it occurs infrequently and results in few, but not all of the pulmonary veins emptying into the general circulation, instead of the left atrium [19]. Present at birth, PAPVC is a multifaceted cardiac defect; it has no known cause, though there is a possibly multifactorial origin that includes genetic component [31]. Numerous variations of this vascular anomaly have appeared in the literature.…”
