Abstract
Scimitar syndrome is a relatively uncommon constellation of cardio-pulmonary anomalies, its typical feature being partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection. It can present in the neonatal period as well as later in life. We present the case of a girl diagnosed in the newborn period, along with a brief review of literature.
