Scimitar syndrome is a rare and complex congenital anomaly, which is characterized by the image of a Turkish sword on the chest X‐ray. Very few cases in adults are reported in the literature. The long‐term results of scimitar syndrome after surgical correction remain disappointing. We report an adult patient with scimitar syndrome undergoing surgery at our center.
