title: [Infant case and adult case of scimitar syndrome with lung sequestration].
abstract: We present 2 cases of Scimitar syndrome with lung sequestration, 1 of which is infant case and the other is adult. A 3-month-old baby was transferred to our hospital because of severe heart failure. Cardiac ultrasonography and angiography revealed atrial septal defect and lung sequestration. Because of critical condition, she underwent emergency operation. After the operation of abnormal lung resection, her general condition improved. We emphasize that the prognosis is influenced by operation timing. A 20-year-old female was admitted for atrial septal defect. We diagnosed Scimitar syndrome and lung sequestration as the result of close examinations. We carried out definitive operations of the closure of atrial septal defect, the correction of partially anomalous pulmonary venous return and the resection of malformed lung. This adult case is popular one of Scimitar syndrome.
