Özet
Horseshoe lung is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of unilateral pulmonary hypoplasia and a midline isthmus bridging the right and the left lung. In this anomaly, the lower lobe of the right lung is hypoplastic and supplied with arterial blood from the descending aorta. Its pulmonary venous return is connected to the inferior caval vein. Left sided scimitar syndrome and bilateral forms are rarely reported in medical literature. Almost all cases of horseshoe lung are associated with the scimitar syndrome. Cranialab normalities with these malformations are extremely uncommon. We describe a symptomatic infant with a combination of typical scimitar syndrome and horseshoe lung associated with congenital hydrocephalus. Diagnosis was established by echocardiography, angiocardiography and computerized to mography. To the best of our knowledge, this case with these malformations seems to be the first which is reported in the literature. Copyright © 2012 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
