Description
Summary:VACTERL association is sporadic and nonrandom, with co-occurrence of various congenital malformations in a single patient due to defect in structures derived from embryonic mesoderm. The VACTERL association with pulmonary agenesis is very rare; few cases have been reported only in neonates till now in the past, as most babies could not survive longer.
