Abstract

Multiple malformation syndromes occur in less than 1/3000 live births. The birth anomalies associated with VACTERL or VATER are well documented in the literature. VACTERL in twin pregnancies has also been documented. An extensive search of the literature reveals this as the first reported case of three shared anomalies in identical twins. This is a case report of naturally conceived identical twin boys born at 33 and 1/7 weeks to a 26 year old primigravida mother. Boy A born at 1790 grams and Boy B at 2015 grams. Both were noted to have imperforate anus and hypospadias after birth. Both were found to have colocutaneous fistulas. Both underwent operative repair of their anorectal anomalies.
