Summary

VATER association, a condition with vertebral, anorectal, tracheoesophageal, radial, and renal defects, frequently includes genital anomalies. Other defects like encephalic and cranial anomalies can impact prognosis.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Developmental Biology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Context:

  • VATER association is a complex congenital malformation syndrome.
  • Previous studies have described its core features.
  • This study reviews a cohort of 53 patients.

Purpose:

  • To review the clinical, radiologic, and anatomic features of VATER association.
  • To identify common and potentially underrecognized anomalies within the association.
  • To propose inclusion of genital anomalies as diagnostic criteria.

Summary:

  • Analysis of 53 patients confirmed typical VATER features: vertebral, anorectal, tracheoesophageal, radial, and renal defects.
  • Genital anomalies were found to be highly prevalent in this cohort.
  • Encephalic, facial, and cranial defects were also common and associated with prognosis.
  • 17 patients exhibited other malformation patterns, suggesting potential overlap or distinct syndromes.

Impact:

  • Highlights the high frequency of genital anomalies in VATER association.
  • Suggests revising diagnostic criteria to include genital anomalies.
  • Emphasizes the prognostic significance of central nervous system and cranial defects.
  • Aids in more accurate diagnosis and classification of complex congenital anomalies.
