:- VACTERL association is a useful acronym for a condition characterized by the sporadic, nonrandom association of specific birth defects on multiple organ systems. It includes vertebral anomalies(V), anal anomalies (A), cardiac anomalies (C), tracheoesophageal fistula(TE), renal anomalies (R), limb defects (L). In addition this, patients may also have other congenital anomalies like external ear malformations, lung lobation defects, intestinal malrotation and genital anomalies. Incidence is estimated approximately 1 in 10000 to 1 in 40000 live births. Ambiguous genitalia may occur with urologic anomaly, described as Richard Wernestrup’s syndrome. Richard Wernestrup introduced four cases in 1985 of neonates who were female pseudohermaphroditic with anal imperforation, renal anomalies and other anomalies that were not common to all patients.
