The scimitar sign is an uncommon finding, that shows an anomalous pulmonary vein coursing to the right cardiac border, that drains to the inferior vena cava. Usually it is associated to other cardiovascular or pulmonary anomalies, within the hypogenetic lung syndrome. We present a rare case of a few symptomatic man 46 years-old, with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, diagnosed upon finding the scimitar sign in a roentgenogram of the chest, in absence of the hypogenetic lung syndrome. We comment the role of CT in the diagnosis.
弯刀征是一种罕见的表现，显示一条异常肺静脉向右心缘走行并引流至下腔静脉。通常它与肺发育不全综合征内的其他心血管或肺部异常相关。我们报告一例罕见病例，一名46岁有症状的男性，存在部分性肺静脉异常引流，在胸部X线片上发现弯刀征而确诊，且无肺发育不全综合征。我们讨论了CT在诊断中的作用。
