This discussion is related to Scimitar Syndrome.


My son Broady was born with Scimitar Snydrome. We spent 8 days in the NICU at Maggie and are still going to the docotor's and Children's every month. Along with the scimitar he has a vein that dosen't reconnect to his heart so his breathing is extremely high. I was just wondering what i am looking for in the future. Did you have allot of problems growing up? He is 6 months now, if you look at him you see nothing wront. Will he be able to play sports or run? Any help would be sooooo helpfull.

Keep in touch

I'm a 16 year old with Scimitar Syndrome, and it's never really impacted on my life. I can't run around as long as the other kids (but that's just mostly because I'm lazy) but it doesn't really matter. I do find myself becoming slightly short of breath when I talk fast/get excited, but it's nothing major.
And, this might be weird, but I've heard a lot of people have surgery when they have Scimitar Syndrome. Why? I've never had it, and I seem to be fine.
