Concordance of auriculo-cardiovascular-skeletal malformations: a new malformation complex in an infant of a diabetic mother?
The incidence of malformations among infants of diabetic mothers (IDM) is known to be higher than in the general population. These malformations usually involve several organ systems and in the past few years there has been an attempt to group them into distinct "syndromes." The present report concerns a child with a specific constellation of findings not yet reported in the infant of a diabetic mother, and we urge our colleagues to look for other associations existing in these infants, rather than just listing series of individual malformations.
