Abstract

Horseshoe lung is a very rare congenital malformation in which the bases of the right and left lung are fused to each other by a narrow isthmus. Although rare, a hyperlucent area in the lower left lung, close to the vertebral column, may represent a horseshoe lung. Horseshoe lung is often associated with scimitar syndrome. Here, we present a case of a 2-year-old girl who presented with recurrent chest infections and wheezing associated with horseshoe lung. The right lung appeared to be hypoplastic.

摘要

马蹄肺是一种非常罕见的先天性畸形，其中右肺和左肺的底部通过一个狭窄的峡部相互融合。虽然罕见，但左下肺靠近脊柱处的透亮区可能代表马蹄肺。马蹄肺常与弯刀综合征相关。在此，我们报告一例2岁女童，她因马蹄肺出现反复的胸部感染和喘息。右肺似乎发育不全。
