Sažetak
Horseshoe lung is a rare congenital pulmonary anomaly in which the caudal and basal segments of the left and right lungs are joined together behind the pericardium at the height of cardiac apex. Most patients with horseshoe lung have many other cardiovascular anomalies typical of the scimitar syndrome or the hypogenetic right lung syndrome. We report on a patient with horseshoe lung not associated with scimitar syndrome, but presented with a focal diaphragmatic herniation of the liver, such as never reported before in case of horseshoe lung without associated scimitar syndrome.
