Abstract
Scimitar syndrome is a partial anomaly, of complex characteristics, of pulmonary venous return. It is associated with multiple cardiovascular and lung malformations, and requires a significant differential diagnosis in patients with an unexplained dilation of the right cavities. The case is presented of a woman, in the fourth decade of life, with a clinical picture of chest pain, syncopal episodes, and a deterioration of her functional class. Due to her findings in the echocardiograph, a cardiac magnetic resonance scan was performed that showed an infra-cardiac partial anomalous pulmonary venous return, a finding that was not observed in the echocardiograph, and confirmed the specific diagnosis of scimitar syndrome.
