purpose: to present a case of unilateral epibulbar dermoid cyst in a girl with vacterl syndrome. case report: a 4-year-old girl was referred with a white, soft and painless mass in the inferotemporal limbus of the left eye having presented since birth. the patient was healthy with normal growth. other ocular examinations were normal. systematic review revealed a group of abnormalities including...

VACTERL/VATER association is a group of congenital malformations characterized by at least 3 of the following findings: vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheo-esophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and limb abnormalities. To date, no unifying etiology for VACTERL/VATER association has been established, and there is strong evidence for causal heterogeneity. VACTERL/VATER associa...

Danforth's short tail (Sd) mutant mice exhibit defects of the neural tube and other abnormalities, which are similar to the human vertebral anomalies, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheosophageal fistula and/or esophageal atresia, renal and radial abnormalities, and limb defects (VATER/VACTERL) association, including defects of the hindgut. Sd has been shown to underlie ectopic gene expressi...

The VATER/VACTERL association is typically defined by the presence of at least 3 of the following congenital malformations: Vertebral anomalies, Anal atresia, Cardiac malformations, Tracheo-Esophageal fistula, Renal anomalies, and Limb abnormalities. The involvement of genetic factors in the development of this rare association is suggested by reports of familial occurrence, the increased preva...

VACTERL/VATER association is typically defined by the presence of at least three of the following congenital malformations: vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheo-esophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and limb abnormalities. In addition to these core component features, patients may also have other congenital anomalies. Although diagnostic criteria vary, the incidence is estim...
