6 esophagus problems?



HINT:
(its a UW Q)

i want to apply the VATER AND VACTERL principle but im not getting to an answer as 1 2 and 6 are all included in VATER

[ArchivalUser]

and not to waste any1's time answer given in UW is urinary tract devlopment
can any1 plz explain

[ArchivalUser]

ya the answer is C in the world,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i am confused too

[ArchivalUser]

yes
abnormalities of the ano rectal region like rectal atresia can result in fistulas to the bladder >>> abnormalities in the urinary tract development.

HI sam82

the 1st thing i will do to solve such q is relate it to a syndrome (which is VATER in this case). keeping that in mind i wud want to opt for either 1 , 2 or 6

PLEASE TELL ME YAAR WHY WUD U THINK OF C ON 1ST THOUGHT?

[ArchivalUser]

too many things in the option for VATER so think non-VATER.
Urinary abnormalities are associated with anal/rectal atresia
