Summary of the clinical data

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.
