Right-sided scimitar syndrome in a patient with a single aortic trunk and coronary-cameral venous fistula

Scimitar syndrome (SS) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by partial or complete anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the right or left lung into the inferior vena cava. The syndrome is commonly associated with hypoplasia of the right lung, pulmonary sequestration, persistent left superior...
