Abstract
A male baby with esophageal atresia(Type C), imperforate anus(recto-urethral fistula), vertebral anomaly and polydactylia was reported. The patient underwent gastrostomy and colostomy on the first day of life, followed by division of tracheo-esophageal fistula and end-to-end esophageal anastomosis on the second day. At the age of 10 months, the baby underwent resection of the supernumerary thumb and sacro-perineal anoplasty, and is doing well. This case represents the 13th case of the complete form of VATER association, reported in the Japanese literature. The authors also collected 57 cases of VATAR association from the Japanese literature and the hospital record of their own, and attempted to classify these patients into the complete and incomplete forms. Thirteen patients(22.8%) had four factors(V, A, TE & R)(complete form), while 15 cases(26.3%) had three factors and 29 cases(50.9%) had two factors.
