J Pak Med Assoc Jan ;69(3):423-5.

Scimitar syndrome is a rare, congenital malformation. It is characterized by partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection to inferior vena cava, hypoplastic right lung along with dextroposition of the heart. Depending on the severity of the defect it can present as early as in neonatal period or incidentally later in life. Its incidence is 1-3 per 100,000 patients. We present a case of a two-year-old girl who presented with recurrent fever, cough and was later diagnosed as scimitar syndrome.
