Abstract

We present a case of tetralogy of Fallot associated with Scimitar syndrome. The patient was an 11-month old female who underwent successfully total repair of her lesion, including rerouting of the anomalous pulmonary vein to the left atrium. The diagnosis was suspected from the chest x-ray and echocardiography, and confirmed by angiography. To the best of our knowledge only 2 additional cases have previously been reported.
