Abstract :
:- 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.
