%X Lung hypoplasia is often associated with pulmonary venous return abnormalities, referred to as the Scimitar syndrome, in pediatric patients. A two day-old male patient presented to our clinic with respiratory distress and mild cyanosis. Diagnostic studies revealed dextrocardia, right sided hypoplasia of upper and middle lung lobes and enlargement of the left lung due to the compensation, midline liver, right sided stomach and right sided spleen. No pulmonary venous return abnormalities were detected. This is the first report of lung hypoplasia associated with heterotaxy, visceral malposition and normal pulmonary venous return.
