Abstract
Eight infants with the VATER [Vertebral defects, anal atresia, tracheo-esophageal fistula, radial limb dysplasia and renal defects] association of malformations are presented. Malformations of the external genitalia were found in 3 out of 7 male patients. Two of them presented with a bifid scrotum and a caudually displaced, dysplastic penis. Two patients were exposed to progestin in early pregnancy and 1 had hypospadias and testicular atrophy. Malformations of the male external genitalia might be part of malformations found in the VATER association.
