Abstract
Scimitar vein is the partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection usually draining lower pulmonary lobe to the inferior vena cava or right atrium. We present a scimitar vein anomaly in a 34-year-old woman with the uncommon association of a secundum type of atrial septal defect and atretic right upper pulmonary vein. She presented with increasing dyspnea for 2 months, however, she was asymptomatic in the past 10 years despite the presence of atrial septal defect. We describe its diagnostic and surgical approach.
