2023, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :ARM can occur as an isolated anomaly (non-syndromic), but may also be part of the VACTERL-association or genetic syndromes [7–12]. In 1973, the initial VATER-association was first described by Quan et al., with vertebral (V), anorectal (A), tracheo-esophageal (TE), renal and radial (R) anomalies that frequently occur simultaneously [13]. Throughout the years, cardiac (C) and limb (L) anomalies were added to the VACTERL definition [14].
