An unusual case of acquired development of anomalous intrapulmonary venous connection with pulmonary venous stenosis is presented. Appearances on a chest radiograph resembled the "scimitar" sign in a patient with previous surgery for partial anomalous pulmonary venous return. Spiral CT and pulmonary arteriography showed stenosis of the right upper pulmonary vein and an anomalous intrapulmonary venous connection between the right upper pulmonary vein and the right lower pulmonary vein. We consider the slow progression of pulmonary vein stenosis led to anomalous intrapulmonary venous connection as an intrapulmonary collateral.
