Subject: Anything I can find with those letters

would not be a diagnosis. Are you sure it isn't MVA? or something similar? Does the body of the report give any clues? I am stumped on that one too.

Here is what the letters stand for. From About.com: Special Needs Children
Subject: Here is what the letters stand for. From About.com: Special Needs Children

The initials in V.A.T.E.R. syndrome refer to five different areas in which a child may have abnormalities: Vertebrae, Anus, Trachea, Esophagus, and Renal (kidneys). There may also be cardiac and limb conditions, which changes the acronym to V.A.C.T.E.R.L. A child diagnosed with one of these syndromes will not necessarily have a problem in every area, but a constellation of birth defects involving many of the areas. There is no currently known cause, but a gene defect is believed to be involved.

Prentiss maneuver. I do think that's what the surgeon means, but I think he's making it up that the bands are called Prentiss. I saw other named bands, but not Prentiss. But for all we know it could be a doctor-speak that is gaining popularity. In other words, if it's clear, I'd give it to him.
