          Abstract

          Le syndrome du cimeterre ou syndrome veino-lobaire de Felson est une pathologie très rare, caractérisée par l’association d'anomalies cardio-pulmonaires notamment un retour veineux pulmonaire droit anormal, situé le plus souvent dans la veine cave inférieure. Nous présentons une observation originale d’unnourrisson de sexe féminin, âgée de six mois, qui s’est présenté pour une dyspnée aigue. Le diagnostic a été suspecté sur la radiographie thoracique et confirmé à la tomodensitométrie qui mettait en evidence une grosse veine pulmonaire droite unique se jetant au niveau de l’oreillette droite associée à une dextrocardie et une séquestration pulmonaire. Le pronostic est lié à l’importance du shunt gauche-droit et aux malformations associées.

          Translated abstract

          Scimitar syndrome or veino-lobaire syndrome (term coined by Felson) is a very rare disease characterized by the combination of cardiopulmonary anomalies, in particular an anomalous right pulmonary venous return, located mostly in the inferior vena cava. We here report the original case of a 6-month-old female infant presenting with acute dyspnea. The diagnosis was suspected on the basis of thoracic radiograph and was confirmed by tomodensitometry which showed a large single right pulmonary vein draining into the right atrium associated with dextrocardia and pulmonary sequestration. The prognosis was based on the size of the left-right shunt and related malformations.

          The "adult" form of the scimitar syndrome.

          One hundred twenty-two cases of the adult form of the scimitar syndrome were collected from different cardiologic centers. The clinical, radiographic and hemodynamic findings are described. The scimitar syndrome is defined as an anomalous right pulmonary venous drainage, partial or complete, to the inferior vena cava. Additional characteristics of this syndrome such as hypoplasia and abnormalities of the vascular supply to the right lung, dextrocardia and abnormalities of the bronchial segmentation are common; bronchiectases are rare. The left to right shunt was less than 50% in 100 of the 122 patients. The pulmonary arterial pressures were normal in 94 patients and slightly elevated in 28. A follow-up study of these patients showed that, without surgical correction, they lead a normal life. An awareness of this syndrome may avoid unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures and surgical treatment for most patients.

            Fleischner lecture. Developmental abnormalities in the systemic blood supply to the lungs.

            Developmental abnormalities in the systemic blood supply to the lungs occur in association with congenital heart disease, congenital lung disease, and rarely with apparently normal heart and lungs. Although most of these anomalies are rare, in the aggregate they are relatively common and of special interest to students of chest and heart disease.
