ABSTRACT

Anorectal malformations(ARM) and Esophageal atresia with Tracheoesophageal fistula (TOF) are usually found congenital anomalies of VACTERL association that are seen in pediatric surgery, occurring in 1:2,000–1:5,000 and 1:3,000–1:5,000 live births, respectively. Bicornuate uterus, a Müllerian duct abnormality has a prevalence of 0.2-0.6 %. Association between VACTERL syndrome and genitourinary anomalies are frequent. We present a case of anal atresia, TOF and Bicornuate uterus. Patient had only 2 of the component from the VACTERL association failing to diagnose under VACTERL association. But still patient had two significant anomalies along with Bicornuate uterus. Surgical management was done for the TOF and anal atresia.
