Abstract
The paper presents a clinical case of a 38-year-old woman who had an anomalous confluence of the right pulmonary vein, both into the inferior vena cava and into the left atrium, which corresponds to be the "scimitar" syndrome. The abnormal pulmonary vein made several bends before draining into the left atrium, which is described in foreign literature as a "meandering pulmonary vein". To clarify the diagnosis, a CT scan of the chest with bolus contrast enhancement and a deep analysis of literature sources were performed.

MSCT images and 3D visualization: A, B – arterial phase of the study; C, D – 3D visualization of the convoluted lower lobe branch of the right pulmonary vein communicating with the inferior vena cava
Компьютерная томография с болюсным введением контрастного вещества является эффективным методом диагностики аномалий развития лёгочных артерий и вен как при первичной диагностике, так и при оценке эффективности лечения
Summary
The paper presents a clinical case of a 38-year-old woman who had an anomalous confluence of the right pulmonary vein, both into the inferior vena cava and into the left atrium, which corresponds to be the "scimitar" syndrome. Такое состояние называют вариант синдрома «ятагана» или блуждающей легочной веной с дренажом в нижнюю полую вену, в настоящее время описано лишь несколько подобных случаев [2, 3]. При синдроме «ятагана» легочная вена не связана с левым предсердием и легочными венами [7, 8].
