![]() VACTERL ( vertebral anomalies, anal atresia, cardiac defect, tracheoesophageal fistula, renal anomaly, limb anomalies) is an association of anomalies with a wide spectrum of phenotypic expression. Velazquez, Danitza Pereira, Elaine Havranek, Thomas ![]() Neonate with VACTERL Association and a Branchial Arch Anomaly without Hydrocephalus. Conclusions There should be a high index of suspicion for the presence of GU anomalies even in patient who do not have spatially similar malformations. ![]() Anomalies were noted in patients without malformations affecting the renal, lower vertebral, or lower gastrointestinal systems. Findings Twenty-one percent of patients have GU anomalies, which are more severe (but not more frequent) in females. Procedures We collected clinical data on 105 patients diagnosed with VACTERL association and analyzed a subset of 89 patients who met more stringent inclusion criteria. Purpose The goal of this study was to describe a novel pattern of genitourinary (GU) anomalies in VACTERL association, which involves congenital anomalies affecting the vertebrae, anus, heart, trachea and esophagus, kidneys, and limbs. There should be a high index of suspicion for the presence of GU anomalies even in patients who do not have spatially similar malformations.Īnalysis of genitourinary anomalies in patients with VACTERL ( Vertebral anomalies, Anal atresia, Cardiac malformations, Tracheo-Esophageal fistula, Renal anomalies, Limb abnormalities) association Twenty-one percent of patients have GU anomalies, which are more severe (but not more frequent) in females.
