We describe an infant with 22q11.2 DS who presented with annular pancreas, anorectal malformation, Morgagni-type congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and ventricular septal defect. This constellation of anomalies has never been described in DiGeorge's syndrome. Here, we provide a case presentation and a thorough review of the literature.
