J Perinatol. 2009 Dec;29(12):826-7. doi: 10.1038/jp.2009.82.

Abstract

We report the first clinical case of a term infant with findings suggestive of lumbocostovertebral syndrome and VACTERL association. Renal agenesis was suspected by prenatal ultrasound, and at birth clinical findings included a large abdominal wall hernia, imperforate anus, vestibular fistula, absent right rib, vertebral anomalies, tethered cord, syringomyelia, and two small sacral dimples.
