Severe lower limb malformation associated with other deformities and death in infancy in two brothers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two brothers with severe and rare lower limb malformations but normal upper limbs are described. Both brothers had glans hypospadias and they died in early infancy. In the first brother the limb malformation was a severe deformity of the right foot which was split and of rockerbottom shape with oligosyndactyly. In the second brother the right limb below the knee was more severely deformed while only the toes were involved in the left limb. Details of the clinical and pathological findings are described. The most likely mode of inheritance of this rare syndrome is autosomal recessive or X-linked recessive with variable expressivity.

متن کاملSplit-Hand/Foot Malformation with Long Bone Deficiency 1
Congenital deficiency of the tibia (tibial hemimelia, aplasia, or dysplasia) also known as long bone deficiency is a rare and severe lower limb malformation, with an incidence of approximately 1:1,000,000 live births. It is characterized by lack of part or the entire tibia, with relatively intact fibula. Usually the affected leg is rotated externally and the ventral surface of the foot faces th...
متن کاملProximity to Pollution Sources and Risk of Amphibian Limb Malformation
The cause of limb deformities in wild amphibian populations remains unclear, even though the apparent increase in prevalence of this condition may have implications for human health. Few studies have simultaneously assessed the effect of multiple exposures on the risk of limb deformities. In a cross-sectional survey of 5,264 hylid and ranid metamorphs in 42 Vermont wetlands, we assessed indepen...
