Abstract:
A patient with microgastria and the VACTERL association is presented. The association of widespread anomalies with microgastria in our patient strongly suggests that such anomalies may all result from mesodermal deficiencies caused by defective migration at the primitive streak stage during the 3rd to 4th week of embryogenesis.
