Scimitar Syndrome in an Asymptomatic Adult : Fortuitous Diagnosis by Imaging Technique

Abstract EN

Congenital cardiopathies in adults are a rare clinical entity in the cardiology consultations.

Advances in imaging techniques allow the fortuitous diagnosis of mild forms of these congenital abnormalities.

We describe a case of an asymptomatic 41-year-old man, with a medical history of recurrent pneumonia during childhood and an established diagnosis of scimitar syndrome by computed tomography.
