ALVARADO SANCHEZ, Eduardo  and  ALVARADO RODRIGUEZ, Kirsten. Scimitar syndrome: a review based on a clinical case. Rev. costarric. cardiol [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.2, pp.11-14. ISSN 1409-4142.

As other congenital syndromes are considered rare based on their low incidence, the diagnosis of scimitar síndrome is based on the presence of an abnormal right venous pulmonary drainage, accompanied in many cases with other pulmonary and cardiac malformations. The vast majority of them has been undiagnosed, because the symptoms present later in adulthood. With regard to a clinical case, we present a review of this topic, which is important to take into account to give this patients a follow-up and adequate treatment.

Keywords : Scimitar syndrome; Congenital venolobar syndrome; Anomalous drainage of pulmonary veins.
