Abstract

Upper urinary system involvement is common in VACTERL association. However cases, reported in literature, have nonserious renal abnormalities and generally have a good outcome. We report a neonate who died shortly after birth, having spectrums of VACTERL association and Potter sequence due to cystic renal dysplasia which is not a common abnormality seen in this association. This unusual combination is extremely rare. We recommend investigating Potter sequence in the spectrum of congenital anomalies of the VACTERL association.
