Case Report: Imaging findings of neonatal horseshoe lung with multiple system malformations

This report describes the imaging findings of a neonatal case of horseshoe lung (HL) associated with multisystem malformations. The patient was a premature female neonate who presented with respiratory distress after birth. Physical examination revealed anal atresia with a rectovestibular fistula. Imaging examinations revealed multisystem malformations, including HL with abnormal bronchial branching and pulmonary hypoplasia, scimitar syndrome (infantile type), complex cardiovascular malformations, duodenal obstruction, and multiple vertebral anomalies. The application of multiple imaging modalities enabled comprehensive evaluation of the patient's condition and provided a basis for subsequent treatment and prognosis assessment.
