✦ Synopsis
Several studies have been published on congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), either as an isolated defect or as part of a multiple congenital anomaly (MCA) pattern. Here we present an epidemiological study designed to measure the association between CDH and a group of 17 selected congenital anomalies in an attempt to identify groups of specific defect patterns. This analysis was done using the data from the Spanish Collaborative Study of Congenital Malformations (ECEMC).

We describe five new cases of tracheal agenesis and report on epidemiological and numerical analyses of nearly 100 such cases with multiple congenital anomalies. Malformations seen with tracheal agenesis form patterns which overlap with, but are distinct from, VACTERL association. They have a high f
An epidemiological analysis of the association of polydactyly with other congenital anomalies was performed in 5,927 consecutively born polydactyly cases. They were grouped into three categories: duplicated fifth digit, duplicated first digit, and rare polydactylies; also into isolated or associated
Interstitial deletions are relatively rare chromosomal anomalies that usually arise de novo. The data describing the phenotype associated with interstitial deletions of 5q are very limited. We describe the first case of multiple fetal anomalies, diagnosed on prenatal sonographic examination, associa
