Table 1.
Patient | V | A | C | TE | R | L | Other features |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | no anomalies (distal kinking on spinal MRI) | none | VSD | TEF with distal EA | abnormally echogenic kidneys bilaterally, with atrophic right kidney | none | none |
2 | multiple dysplastic supernumerary lumbar vertebral bodies, left cervical rib, 13 R ribs | anal atresia | none (history of PDA and PFO)a | TEF with distal EA | no frank anomalies; grade I VUR and chordee | none, though mild UE asymmetry | only consistent with prematurity |
Twin pair 1 has additionally been described in Solomon et al. [2011]. EA = Esophageal atresia; PDA = patent ductus arteriosus; PFO = patent foramen ovale; TEF = tracheo-esophageal fistula; UE = upper extremity; VSD = ventricular septal defect; VUR = vesicoureteral reflux.
History of PDA and PFO is supposed to be most likely related to prematurity rather than reflective of a true congenital cardiovascular malformation.
