Pictorial

review of the pulmonary vasculature: from arteries to veins. Pulmonary venous variant. a Three-dimensional reconstruction of a contrast-enhanced CT shows normal pulmonary venous anatomy with two right and two left pulmonary veins draining into the left atrium. b Axial CT image showing the most common variant of pulmonary venous anatomy, a fusion of the left pulmonary veins prior to entry in the left atrium (*). c Three-dimensional reconstruction shows a fusion of the left superior and inferior pulmonary veins with a shared ostium (*)

Correction of

the scimitar syndrome, a rare cardiac venous anomaly, leading to Budd–Chiari syndrome: a case report. Scimitar sign. Coronal contrast-enhanced computed tomography shows the anomalous drainage of the right pulmonary vein into the inferior vena cava, representing the scimitar sign on conventional radiography.
