title: [The Vater association in a newborn infant of a diabetic mother].
abstract: Concerning the case history of an infant of diabetic mother, the authors analyse the possible relationship between a VATER association and a poorly controlled diabetes mellitus in the early weeks of pregnancy. Caudal regression syndrome, the most frequently observed malformation noted in infants of diabetic mothers and VATER association are the results of an "AXIAL MESODERMAL DYSPLASIA". Furthermore, the factors causing VATER association occur before the seventh week of pregnancy like those responsible for the anomalies observed in infants of diabetic mothers. It is possible that a poorly controlled diabetes mellitus before conception and in the early weeks of pregnancy could favour the appearance of VATER association.
