Core Tip	This case highlights the chest X-ray features of scimitar syndrome are not diagnostic and a meandering right pulmonary vein (MRPV) should be considered in the differential diagnosis. The nomenclature used in the literature to describe these pulmonary vascular anomalies is inconsistent. We therefore propose a revision to the nomenclature to avoid confusion. Differentiation between pulmonary vascular anomalies is required to help decide whether treatment is necessary. Modern multislice computed tomography technology allows clear depiction of the vascular connections and associated anatomy, and has superseded invasive pulmonary angiography and cardiac catheterization as the investigation of choice for MRPV.
