Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by partial or total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the right lung to the inferior vena cava. We report a case of a 67-year-old female who presented with cough and dyspnea and was diagnosed with scimitar syndrome and pulmonary arterial hypertension based on comprehensive imaging and hemodynamic evaluation. This case highlights the importance of considering scimitar syndrome as a cause of pulmonary hypertension even in adult patients.
弯刀综合征是一种罕见的先天性异常,其特征为右肺部分或全部肺静脉异常引流至下腔静脉。我们报告一例67岁女性患者,该患者因咳嗽和呼吸困难就诊,经综合影像学和血流动力学评估后被诊断为弯刀综合征和肺动脉高压。该病例强调了即使在成年患者中,也应将弯刀综合征视为肺动脉高压病因的重要性。
