    <abstract locale="en_US">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>
