“…VACTERL association with the full range of anomalies has been reported in only 1% of cases. 8 The 70% of patients will have vertebral anomalies and it is the most common presenting core component of the association. These may be of several types and include hypoplastic, fusion, butterfly, supernumerary, hemi-vertebrae, or Absent type.…”

VACTERL association is a cipher used to describe a cluster of conditions wherein there is a seemingly unexplainable non-random association of specific birth defects of multiple organ systems. It includes vertebral anomalies (V), anal anomalies (A), cardiac anomalies (C), tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), renal anomalies (R) or radial bone anomalies (R), and limb defects (L). At least three of these seven malformations need to be present to constitute the VACTERL association. Other congenital anomalies of different systems may additionally be present with this association but are classified separately and the rarity of this occurrence is greater than even the VACTERL association. We report a neonate with congenital abnormalities of the cardiac system atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect, tracheoesophageal fistula H type, and a multicystic dysplastic kidney. Additionally, the baby was also found to have a micropenis, a genito-urinary anomaly. With optimal surgical correction in the post-natal period and vigilant periodic follow-up, the prognosis may be relatively positive. Medical management can be used as therapy for treating long-term sequelae of the anomalies if any. Therefore, morbidity and mortality can be prevented to a great extent with early diagnosis and immediate intervention.

A Female Infant Who Had both Complete VACTERL Association and MURCS Association: Report of a Case

et al. 2007

A 41-day-old female infant with VACTERL association was transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit of our hospital. She had been delivered at 36 weeks gestation by spontaneous vaginal delivery and weighed 2340 g. Esophageal atresia type A with long gap, anal atresia, cardiac anomaly (atrial septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus), thoracic vertebral dysplasia, left renal agenesis, and minor anomalies (left-side facial nerve palsy, left-side difficulty in hearing, and the absence of the right thenar) had been diagnosed by various examinations. She was transferred to our hospital to receive treatment for heart failure due to a cardiac anomaly. We recognized vaginal atresia during a radical operation for anal atresia (rectovestibular fistula) at 8 months of age. Furthermore, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed agenesis of the uterus. MURCS association includes Mullerian duct aplasia or hypoplasia, renal aplasia, and cervicothoracic somite dysplasia. This is the first case of complete VACTERL association combined with MURCS association.
