Abstract
Neonatologists often care for newborns who have multiple congenital anomalies. The specific diagnosis has implications for the infant's clinical management. In this article, we examine the neonatal presentations of CHARGE syndrome and VATER/VACTERL association. Once the features of these two entities are recognized clinically, the appropriate diagnostic evaluations can be initiated.Keywords
