VATER — tibia aplasia association: report on two patients

摘要

We report two patients with oesophageal atresia, tracheo-oesophageal fistula and unilateral tibial aplasia. The karyotype in both patients was normal and both cases were sporadic. The congenital defects of the children can be regarded as an uncommon variant of VA(C)TER(L) association. Recently Basel and Goldblatt (2000)Clin Dysmorphol9:205–208 reported a similar patient with a VATER-tibia aplasia association.
