title: VACTERL association with a cleft hand.
abstract: Regarding radial ray deficiency, several reports suggest that preaxial limb anomalies occur frequently, while postaxial limb anomalies and cleft hand (split-hands) are rarely associated with VACTERL. We describe a rare clinical case of VACTERL with cleft hand and a number of visceral anomalies.
