Abstract

40 year-old women suffering from hemopthysis and recurrent pulmonary infection applied to our clinic. On the chest X-ray, lower lobe atelectasis was detected. The orifices of lower lobe segments, except apical segment orifice, were seen to be wrapped up with membranous formation on fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Right pulmonary artery was blocked on the lower lobe region and this region did not contain any arterial branch on pulmonary angiography. Dextroposition of arcus aorta and descending part of aorta was also detected. Thorax computed tomography supported these findings. Pulmonary venous return anomaly was detected at operation. Right lower lobectomy was performed. The diagnosis of "Scimitar syndrome" should be kept in mind in patients with recurrent pulmonary infection and atelectasis of entire lower lobe or lower lobe segments. The diagnosis was established in this case through radiological, bronchoscopic, operative and histopathological findings.

Özet

Hemoptizi ve sık tekrarlayan akciğer infeksiyonu öyküsüyle kliniğimize başvuran 40 yaşındaki kadın olguda, radyolojik olarak sağ akciğerde alt lob atelektazisi saptanıp, bronkoskopide apikal segment dışında alt lob segment girişlerinin membranöz bir yapıyla kapalı oldukları görüldü. Yapılan anjiyografik incelemelerde, sağ ana pulmoner arterin alt loba giden dallarında kesilme saptanarak damarlanması olmayan bir bölge tanımlandı. Olgunun arkus aortası sağda yer almakta ve sağdan iniş göstermekteydi. Toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisi bu bulguları desteklemekteydi. Scimitar sendromu tanısı intraoperatif pulmoner venöz dönüş anomalisinin saptanması ile desteklendi. Hastaya sağ alt lobektomi yapıldı. Tekrarlayan akciğer infeksiyonu ve lober ya da segmental alt lob atelektazisi birlikteliğinde scimitar sendromu akılda bulundurulmalıdır. Bu tanıya olgumuzda bronkoskopik, operatif ve histopatolojik bulgular yardımıyla ulaşılmıştır.
