Abstract
We report on a two-month-old infant with an unusual form
of scimitar syndrome, associated with an absent right pulmonary
artery, obstructed inferior vena cava, hemi-azygous
continuation and the VACTERL association. The infant
posed a major management problem and eventually died
from a lower respiratory tract infection.
