Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
just out of curiosity..I have a 22 month old with Trisomy 21. He had an EA/TEF . He was never diagnosed with Vacteryl but has four of the signs. He has a 7 mm asd with significant left to right shunting, syndactly of his last two toes on each foot, tracheoesphageal fistula , and esophageal fistula..can he also have Vacteryl?
ASD is very common in trisomy 21 itself. Anyhow VACTERL is a possibility as he also have TEF and syndactyly. so its is better to get an ultrasound abdomen (to look for renal / genito-urinary anomalies), and a vertebral X-ray also. You can discuss with your doctor. Treatment is problem oriented and supportive.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
