Pulmonary venous connections may be infrequently abnormal in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). A special subgroup of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return,"scimitar cyndrome", and its coexistence with TOF is less frequently reported. It may proceed unnoticed, as cyanosis already predominates in the clinical picture. This uncommon association must be kept in mind for patients with TOF who have an accessory flow in the inferior vena cava, especially when all pulmonary venous return to the left atrium is not clearly seen.
肺静脉连接在法洛四联症(TOF)患者中可能不常出现异常。部分肺静脉异常回流的一个特殊亚组,“弯刀综合征”,及其与 TOF 的共存,报道较少。由于临床上已经存在紫绀,因此可能未被注意到。对于存在下腔静脉附加血流的 TOF 患者,特别是当并非所有肺静脉均回流至左心房时,必须牢记这种不常见的关联。
