Abstract

VACTERL association is a heterogeneous condition that includes at least three out of six core structural defects which occur together more commonly than would be expected by chance alone. We report a rare association of VACTERL with unilateral proximal focal femoral deficiency and trisomy 18 syndrome.

Keywords: Anorectal malformation; VACTERL; proximal focal femoral deficiency; trisomy 18.
