Rule Out

Here we report a case of a term newborn presenting with left palpebral ptosis, anisocoria and heterochromia as well as cleft palate and heart murmur. Congenital Horner syndrome was suspected and a thoracoabdominal CT scan was performed to rule out neuroblastoma. This revealed an anomalous drainage of right pulmonary veins to a collector that drains to the inferior vena cava, leading to the diagnosis of Scimitar syndrome. Echocardiogram showed an ostium secundum atrial septal defect, enlarged right chambers and a dilated coronary sinus due to a persistent left superior vena cava. The combination of Horner and Scimitar syndrome has never been described before. This case should encourage clinicians to use a multidisciplinary approach in order to guarantee an adequate diagnosis and management.

Objectives: Scimitar syndrome is a combination of rare congenital cardiopulmonary anomalies that can occur in 3% to 6% of patients with a partial abnormal venous connection. The presence of accompanying cardiac anomalies in these patients and in cases such as severe hypoplasia of the right lung or accompanying pulmonary artery hypertension necessitate early surgery in early infancy. Patients and Methods: 9 patients with scimitar syndrome operated on in our pediatric cardiac surgery clinic from 2012 to 2020 were retrospectively examined in our study. The ages of the patients ranged from 1 to 47 years, with a mean of 18.11±14.44. 1 patient died and mortality was 11.11%. Of the patients, 4 were male (44.44%) and 5 were female (55.56%). Patients' pulmonary arterial pressure ranged from 0.15 to 94 mmHg, with a mean of 39.22 ±22.49. Results: Close to 25% scimitar vein stenosis or scimitar vein drainage occlusion has been reported in the postoperative period, mostly in the newborn group in the literature. 2 patients had non-critical stenosis during the 3rd year follow-up despite the absence of stenosis orocclusion during the first 2 years of follow-up of 9 patients we followed. Their surgical follow-up is still ongoing since they are asymptomatic. Conclusion: As a result, the course of the disease depends on the follow-up of the patient, the timing of the surgery, and the quality of the anastomosis. The follow-up and treatment of these patients will be more accurate in advanced centers experienced in scimitar surgery.
