[Combined XXXX with the scimitar triad: a case report].

@entity1 @entity712 @entity1700 @entity509 @entity358 @entity1729 @entity340
A case of combined @entity340 with the scimitar sign is reported. A 48-year-old @entity1 was admitted to our hospital for treatment of @entity712 due to combined @entity340 following an @entity1729 . Chest radiography revealed @entity509 of the right lung, dextroposition of the heart and a curved vascular opacity adjacent to the right cardiac border having the appearance of a scimitar sign. The latter was better demonstrated by chest tomography. A lung scan showed a marked decrease in perfusion of the right lung. A CT scan of the thorax revealed @entity509 of the right lung, dextroposition of the heart and an abnormal, curved and thickened right pulmonary vein which drained into a markedly enlarged left atrium. Right heart catheterization demonstrated elevated pressures in the right side of the heart. However, no shunt was demonstrated. A pulmonary angiogram revealed an @entity358 , having the appearance of a scimitar sign draining normally into the left atrium. Only five cases like the present case have been reported in the world literatures. The results in the present case indicate that @entity1 with radiological evidence of the @entity1700 should be examined using computed tomography of the chest to rule out the "pseudoscimitar sign."
