ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
VACTERL association is a sporadic, nonrandom series of congenital malformations diagnosed by the presence of three or more of the following vertebral malformations, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheoesophageal fistula, renal malformations, and limb malformations. Situs inversus totalis (SIT) and esophageal malformations are rarely associated. This is the first reported case in North America of VACTERL association with SIT. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Respiratory distress in the term infant requires full exploration of all possible causes because the etiology may be far more complex than routinely diagnosed respiratory distress syndrome. This particular case demonstrates physical exam findings and supportive imaging that would be observed in infants with VACTERL association and with SIT, highlighting considerations when, rarely, both occur simultaneously.Palavras-chave
