The temporal bone findings of a patient with VATER syndrome are reported. The VATER syndrome is a nonrandom association of anomalies including vertebral, anal, tracheoesophageal, radial, and renal defects. This patient had multiple congenital anomalies: tracheal agenesis with associated laryngoesophageal cleft and tracheoesophageal fistula, tetralogy of Fallot, single umbilical artery, and imperforate anus with cloaca. To our knowledge, there have been no reports of the temporal bone findings in the VATER syndrome. Our patient had anomalous configuration of lateral semicircular canal and an abnormally high location of the utricle and saccule. The VATER syndrome seems to be due to faulty mesodermal development during the first five weeks of gestation, which, according to the findings reported here, can also involve the temporal bones as well.
报告了一名患有VATER综合征患者的颞骨检查结果。VATER综合征是包括脊椎、肛门、气管食管、桡骨和肾脏缺陷在内的多种异常的非随机组合。该患者有多种先天性异常：气管发育不全伴喉食管裂和气管食管瘘、法洛四联症、单脐动脉以及肛门闭锁伴泄殖腔。据我们所知，尚无关于VATER综合征颞骨检查结果的报告。我们的患者外侧半规管形态异常，椭圆囊和球囊位置异常高。VATER综合征似乎是由于妊娠前5周中胚层发育异常所致，根据此处报告的结果，这种异常也可能累及颞骨。
