Abstract
We observed a girl with an interrupted, left inferior vena cava with h emiazygous continuation, bilateral superior venae cavae, heart defects , and sacral agenesis. She had macrostomia and bilateral ear tags and pits, as in oculoauriculovertebral defect. Maternal diabetes was prese nt. The combination, which we call OAV-heterotaxia complex, supports t he view that some cases of oculoauriculovertebral defect may be part o f a midline field defect of blastogenesis.
