The VATER Association
Radiology.
1978 Feb.
Abstract
The VATER association is a group of congenital anomalies with a nonrandom tendency for concurrence. Defects include vertebral, vascular, anorectal malformation, tracheoesophageal fistula with esophageal atresia, radial-limb, and renal abnormalities. The critical period of organogenesis is at or before the sixth or seventh week of gestation. The VATER assoication is important in the evaluation of newborns with major congenital anomalies.
