A Case of A Newborn Presenting With VACTERL-Like Association


Abstract

Given its seemingly sporadic nature, the VACTERL association presents a complex syndrome of scientific interest. The findings in the description of this case study regarding a full-term newborn with several hallmarks of the VACTERL association demonstrate the disorder's heterogeneous nature and varying presentations. Identification of newborn findings consistent with components of the VACTERL association should prompt further investigation for coexisting abnormalities. Facilities with adequate specialized care will be paramount in determining the management, prognosis, and quality of life of neonates with the VACTERL association.
