I gave birth to a very fine girl. She is beautiful and healthy, or I thought so. Sixth day after delivery, when we suppose to go home doctors told me that something is wrong and that she has to stay. I almost die when I heard that. She was diagnosed with scimitar syndrome. What is that?
Based to my knowledge, Scimitar Syndrome is malformation of the right lung. Most patients with this syndrome don't have symptoms, but your daughter probably had it. This condition can be detected with chest radiography. For final diagnosis, treatments and prognosis is required further imaging. There is why your daughter is kept in hospital. It is best thing that she was diagnosed in her early life, so she would have better chance for treatment.
