Abdominal discomfort, as in our clinical case, is a highly atypical presentation of scimitar syndrome. It is important for physicians to be aware that diagnostic suspicion can be established from a chest X-ray, on which the scimitar sign can be distinguished in many cases. The diagnosis must be confirmed with other imaging modalities, such as echocardiography, MRI, or computed tomography. Corrective surgery may relieve the symptoms related to liver congestion at follow-up.
