It is a retrospective study of 7 patients with clinical and echocardiographic assessment, the last was correlated with morphologic features of one equivalent anatomic specimen. The results are: respiratory infections and dyspnea in 90% of cases, scimitar sign in four (57%), interatrial septal defect in five (71%), one of them with patent ductus arteriosus, two (28.6%) only with patent ductus arteriosus. Dextrocardia was found in 5 (71%), dilation of the right cavities in 5 (71%) and blunt edge in 6 (85.7%). In two the colector drained into the right atrium, in one to the junction of the right atrium and inferior vena cava and in the other three into the inferior vena cava through the colector. Six patients with cardiac abnormalities went to surgery. The correlation shows agreement between the echocardiographic image and the anatomic specimen. Scimitar syndrome is a rare entity, which diagnosis and follow up can be performed by echocardiography in a great percentage (86%). The embryologic basis of this syndrome is enhanced.
