| description | VACTERL association is typically defined by the presence of at least three of the congenital malformations that make up the term including: vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), renal anomalies, and limb deformities. Patients with VACTERL are typically managed through immediate-postnatal-surgical correction of the specific congenital anomalies (typically anal atresia, specific types of cardiac malformations, and/or TEF), followed by long-term medical management of the congenital malformations. Although congenital anomalies might have long-lasting effects, the prognosis can be positive when the best surgical remedy is possible. Here, we present a case of 5 years female that is a known case of VACTERL Status Post (S/P)TEF repair, S/P double outlet right ventricle repair at sixth day and fifth month of life. This child managed to survive despite being operated in a resource-limited setting. |
