Unilateral VATER association.
We describe a case of unilateral "VATER association." In addition to the VATER manifestations, the patient had hemihypoplasia, unilateral congenital paralysis of a leg, and delayed ossification of the femoral head and carpal bones. All of the manifestations involved the left side of the body. The only drug exposure identified was a Chinese herbal medicine taken by the mother during early pregnancy.
