Scimitar syndrome (SS) is a rare entity with an incidence of approximately 1-3 in 200 000 people. It is typically characterized by complete or partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage from the right lung into the systemic venous circulation, most commonly the inferior vena cava (IVC). For the first time, we report the diagnosis of SS in a fetus in utero using four-dimensional (4D) spatiotemporal image correlation combined with high-definition live flow rendering mode (STIC-HD live flow).
Keywords: echocardiography; fetus; prenatal diagnosis; scimitar syndrome; spatiotemporal image correlation.
