The first descriptions of the VACTERL-Association appeared in the literature in the late twentieth century. This range of congenital abnormalities includes defects of the spine (V) and atresia of the anus (A), cardiac defects (C), tracheoesophageal fistula (TE) , violations of the formation of the kidneys (R). radius (L), It is worth noting that the pathology is quite rare from 1:10000 to 1:40000 newborns. On the contrary, foreign bodies of the gastrointestinal tract in children are a fairly common problem especially in the age of 3-4 years. For most cases characteristic independent free exit of a foreign object, and only 10-20% is required its removal in connection with the fixation in physiological and pathological zones of narrowing of the digestive tube. However, the presence of a foreign body in the colostomy in a child with multiple congenital malformations is casuistry.
