Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Lumbocostovertebral syndrome is a rare clinical association syndrome rarely accompanied by associated VACTERL anomalies. Only one similar case has been reported previously. We describe the second case, where a male neonate born at 38 weeks of gestation had an unusually high number of congenital anomalies including thoracic hemivertebrae with kyphoscoliosis, a high anorectal malformation, dextrocardia with an atrial septal defect, renal pelvic pyelectasis, hypospadias, and congenital talipes equinovarus.
