This case study details unilateral VATER association, a rare congenital condition, with additional left-sided hemihypoplasia and limb paralysis. The findings suggest a potential link to maternal Chinese herbal medicine exposure during pregnancy.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Genetics
  • Developmental Biology
  • Clinical Case Reports

Background:

  • VATER association is a complex congenital disorder affecting multiple organ systems.
  • Unilateral presentations of VATER association are exceptionally rare, posing diagnostic challenges.
  • Understanding the etiology of congenital anomalies is crucial for early intervention and genetic counseling.

Observation:

  • A neonate presented with a unique constellation of left-sided congenital anomalies.
  • Manifestations included VATER association features, left-sided hemihypoplasia, and congenital leg paralysis.
  • Delayed ossification of the left femoral head and carpal bones were also noted.

Findings:

  • The patient exhibited a rare unilateral variant of VATER association.

  • All observed anomalies were confined to the left side of the body.
  • Maternal intake of Chinese herbal medicine during early pregnancy was the sole identified exposure.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering atypical presentations of VATER association.
    • It raises questions about potential teratogenic effects of specific herbal medicines during gestation.
    • Further research is warranted to investigate the link between herbal medicine and congenital anomalies.
