title: Primitive hepatic venous plexus in a child with scimitar syndrome and pulmonary sequestration.
abstract: We report a case of scimitar syndrome with pulmonary sequestration, persistent primitive hepatic venous plexus and stenosis of the inferior vena cava in a child presenting with failure to thrive. Such associations are rare but may have implications when planning interventions for patients with complex congenital heart disease.
