“…As pointed out by Dische and others [2][3][4][5][6][7], the cardiovascular anomalies associated with a horseshoe lung tend to embrace the spectrum of malformations seen in the "scimitar" syndrome [8- 1 2]. To the present time, there are about seven well described cases of horseshoe lung.…”

Case MaterialWe identified five patients at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto with the horseshoe lung anomaly and reviewed their chest radiographs, angiographic studies in four patients, and pathologic material in four patients, including a postmortem bronchogram in one patient.The diagnosis of horseshoe lung anomaly was made from pulmonary angiography in four patients and confirmed at autopsy in three of these, from pulmonary angiography alone in one patient, and from autopsy findings alone in one patient. Four of the five patients became symptomatic in the neonatal period. One of these had complex congenital heart disease with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, severe coarctation of the descending aorta, and double-outlet right ventricle and died in the neonatal period. The four other patients had features of scimitar syndrome. Three of these presented in early infancy with respiratory distress, believed to be at least partly secondary to congestive heart failure, and died in the first few months of life. The fifth patient, who also had features of the scimitar spectrum, was asymptomatic and was investigated angiographically after a chest radiograph showed dextrocardia, small right lung, and abnormal pulmonary vascular markings. She has subsequently remained asymptomatic.Seven additional patients with horseshoe lung anomaly have been reported in the world literature [1-6].

“…Dextroversion of the cardiac apex was a constant association in all previously recorded cases with hypoplasia of the right lung (5,13) and was attributed to the disposition of the heart as a result of hypoplasia of the right lung. This explanation is supported by our finding which showed no dextroposition of the heart since hypoplasia was on the left side.…”

Horseshoe Lung with Multiple Congenital Anomalies

A detailed radiologic and anatomic study of a 20-week-old fetus is presented. In addition to conventional radiography, various contrast medium injection techniques were used. The findings were followed up at autopsy. The fetus showed multiple congenital abnormalities comprising phocomelia, horseshoe lung, horseshoe kidney, urethral stenosis with megacystis, bilateral hydronephrosis, hydrourcters, imperforate anus, and a single tracheo-esophageal tube· (persistent esophago-trachea). The association of horseshoe lung with persistent esophago-trachea, microurethra, megacystis, bilateral hydroureters, hydronephrosis and phocomelia is, we believe, the first ever to have been recorded in the literature. Twenty-one cases of horseshoe lung have been reported in the literature. These cases were reviewed and a comparison with the present case is presented. The embryologic basis for these anomalies is also briefly discussed.
