Description
John Delgado, Logan Atkins, Micah Pippin, and Jessan Jishu report a case in two thousand twenty-four of a newborn with a cluster of birth defects. The cluster resembles the VACTERL association, a named pattern that links defects of the spine, anus, heart, windpipe-food pipe connection, kidneys, and limbs. Its causes remain an open puzzle.
The full-term baby was found to have a two-leaflet aortic valve, a small hole in the heart, and an abnormal link between the windpipe and food pipe. Further findings included an uneven crying face and genital differences. The authors weigh environmental and genetic factors and compare a similar pattern called CHARGE syndrome.
