Alami, Y. Lamrani, M. Maaroufi, M. Boubbou Abstract: We report two cases of scimitar syndrome in two infants, aged of 6 and 14 months. The circumstances of the discovery were dyspnea, fever, fatigue at feeding time, and respiratory distress. The thoracic CT angiography is a non-invasive examination, which has enabled us to recognize scimitar syndrome, identify anomalies of systematization of the right lung, to show the anatomical presence of the right pulmonary artery, and to determine whether it has been opacified normally in the anterograde direction at the pulmonary arterial time, or abnormally in the retrograde direction at the systemic arterial time, from a systemic artery of the abdominal aorta.
