A Rare Case of Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return (Scimitar Syndrome) with Vaginal Agenesis and a History of Infantile Imperforated Anus

Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly characterized by abnormal drainage of the right pulmonary veins into the inferior vena cava (IVC). Here, we report the case of a 26-year-old female diagnosed with scimitar syndrome (SS), with a history of imperforate anus and vaginal agenesis, consistent with a VACTERL association. The imperforate anus was identified and treated in infancy, whereas the vaginal agenesis was diagnosed at menarche. Additionally, the patient presented with a large atrial septal defect (ASD) and a hypoplastic right lung alongside SS. This case underscores the potential correlation between SS, vaginal agenesis, and imperforate anus as features within the VACTERL spectrum.

Abstract

Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly characterized by abnormal drainage of the right pulmonary veins into the inferior vena cava (IVC). Here, we report the case of a 26-year-old female diagnosed with scimitar syndrome (SS), with a history of imperforate anus and vaginal agenesis, consistent with a VACTERL association. The imperforate anus was identified and treated in infancy, whereas the vaginal agenesis was diagnosed at menarche. Additionally, the patient presented with a large atrial septal defect (ASD) and a hypoplastic right lung alongside SS. This case underscores the potential correlation between SS, vaginal agenesis, and imperforate anus as features within the VACTERL spectrum.
