“…IOTEE had an important role for pre pump and post pump evaluations. Few cases with isolated RV hypoplasia and ASD have been reported and temporary occlusion of the ASD with a balloon catheter during preoperative study has been proposed to identify the patient suitable for simple closure of the ASD (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). In the present case, the balloon occlusion test was not conclusive, since the patient had multiple associated anomaly (ASD, VSD, PS).…”

Hypoplastic right ventricular is a rare congenital heart disease. A few cases have been reported. We presented a case with hypoplastic right ventricular and multiple associated anomaly (Ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect and pulmonary stenosis) in whom the main concern was whether biventricular repair or Fontan type surgery would be the optimal management in this patient. Biventricular repair was done successfully using the multimodality cardiac imaging with intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography.Keywords: Heart Ventricles; Right Ventricle Hypoplasia; Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: We presented a case with hypoplastic right ventricular and multiple associated anomaly (Ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect and pulmonary stenosis) in whom the main concern was whether biventricular repair or Fontan type surgery would be the optimal management in this patient.

“…Although repair of the anomalous venous return or ligation of collaterals is the procedure of choice, pneumonectomy has also shown similar early and late results. Surgery is indicated when the right-to-left shunt is >2:1 [12,13]. Sometimes patients present with an incidental radiological finding with no symptoms.…”

A 61-year-old female presented with a history of recurrent chest infections over several years. Episodes were characterised by cough and green sputum without haemoptysis. There was no history of chest pain, shortness of breath, fever, night sweats or weight loss. She had received several courses of antibiotics for this from her general practitioner. Her past medical history included whooping cough as a child and hysterectomy at age 40 years, for reasons unknown. She had smoked 10 cigarettes per week since her teenage years and denied any alcohol intake. There were no pets at home or any history of recent travel.

SummaryScimitar syndrome is a rare congenital heart disease where anamolous pulmonary veins drain into inferior vena cava. Its pathogenesis is unknown and it is caused by abnormal development of the pulmonary bud during early embryogenesis. In the chest radiography, the shadow of anomalous veins resembles a Turkish sword (better known as scimitar) located between the lower right lung and the heart. It is associated with other anomalies such as right pulmonary hypoplasia, cardiac dextroposition, anomalous systemic arterial supply to the right lung, pulmonary sequestration and atrial septal defect. In this article, we present an 8-year-old boy operated for scimitar syndrome with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return draining into the inferior vena cava, atrial septal defect, dextropositon of the heart and hypoplastic right lung. The diagnostic significance of new generation imaging methods and surgical strategy have been scrutinized. (Turk Arch Ped 2013; 48: 173-5)
