A Very Rare Combination: two Scimitar Veins and a Myocardial Bridge

Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by partial or complete anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the right (rarely left) lung into the inferior vena cava. This anomalous vein resembles the curved Turkish sword “scimitar”^[1]. Only few cases were reported with two scimitar veins^[2]. “Myocardial bridge” constitutes a portion of the myocardial tissue that bridges a segment of the coronary artery, mostly the left anterior descending coronary artery . For the first time, a combination of double scimitar vein and a myocardial bridge was described in this study.
