A patient with VACTERL association, amelia and hemifacial microsomia
Clinical Dysmorphology
|May 13, 1999
Abstract:
We report on a girl with anal atresia, renal aplasia, vertebral and rib anomalies, amelia and hemifacial microsomia. The patient demonstrates the overlap between the VACTERL association and the oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia. We propose that amelia is a severe manifestation of the limb defects which occur in these developmental dysplasias.
