“…Combining cases reported in the early literature, and excluding deformities such as dislocated hips and clubfeet, approximately 21% of the previously reported children with VA-TER association and limb anomalies have lower limb anormalities [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].

The radiographs of 230 children who had undergone neonatal surgery for imperforate anus and/or esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula were reviewed. Of the 31 children with limb anomalies thus detected, the 24 who had no radiologic or laboratory evidence of chromosomal abnormality form the basis of this report. In 16 children the limb anomalies fell within the commonly described spectrum of the VATER association. In the other 8 children and in 3 of the children with typical VATER limb anomalies additional anomalies were encountered: Sprengel deformity [2], hypoplasia of the humerus [3], radioulnar synostosis [1], midline anomalies of the hand [1], absence of the pubis, femur, tibia, and fibula and two rays of the foot [1], and other foot deformities. Subtle anomalies of the hand were common and included: clinodactyly, syndactyly, shortening of the middle phalanx of the fifth digit, and rotary malposition of the digits.

Descriptive Epidemiology of Anorectal Malformations in Chinese Population

et al. 2017

Over a twelve year period one hundred and five neonates (30 females) with an anorectal malformation (ARM) were studied at a tertiary referral centre in Hong Kong. A perineal fistula was the most frequent presentation of ARM in males closely followed by rectourethral fistula. Vestibular fistula was the most common anomaly amongst females. An ARM without a fistula was documented in 11 % of patients and dominated by males. Associations and syndromes were present in nearly 30 % of the group with VACTERL association and Down syndrome at the forefront. Isolated anomalies were most frequently seen in the renal tract (23 %), the CNS (20 %) and the heart (18 %). A quarter of the cohort was small for gestational age with syndromes/associations featuring in half of this subgroup. A death rate of 9.5 % was recorded, of which all except one had an underlying syndrome or association. In addition a pre-existing heart condition constituted the most significant factor affecting the mortality in 50 % of this group.
