VACTERL with hydrocephalus. A distinct entity with a variable spectrum of multiple congenital anomalies.
In this report we describe the experience and follow-up data in 4 patients presenting the "VACTERL-hydrocephaly association". A review of the literature and the present data show that the inheritance pattern of this association is not clear at the present time and that data on the long-term prognosis are scarse.
