Bilateral femoral agenesis is a rare anomaly. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases of simple congenital anomaly and three cases associated with femoral facial syndrome have been reported. Here, we describe a simple form of bilateral femoral agenesis observed in one of the 2 dead fetuses delivered after termination of a 24-week twin pregnancy of a normal mother. Post-mortem x-ray exami...

The agenesis of the corpus callosum results from a failure in the development of the largest fiber bundle that connects cerebral hemispheres. Patient's outcome is influenced by etiology and associated central nervous system malformations. We describe a child with Turner syndrome (TS) mosaicism, with particular phenotype features and a complete agenesis of the corpus callosum. To our knowledge, ...

Caudal regression syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly with characteristic agenesis or dysgenesis of caudal vertebrae varying from isolated partial agenesis of coccyx or entire lumbosacral vertebrae.1,2 It may be associated with congenital anomaly of spinal cord, genitourinary tract, and gastrointestinal tract.3–5 The children with extensive bony defects in caudal regression syndrome may prese...

Mullerian duct abnormalities are congenital malformations that are easily missed and can lead to incorrect diagnosis and unnecessary operative procedures. In this case, a young female presented with cyclic pelvic pain that continued after previous surgical resection of an ovarian cyst. Further investigation with clinical examinations and multimodality imaging demonstrated ipsilateral renal agen...

Left-sided pulmonary artery agenesis is a rare malformation that commonly requires childhood intervention secondary to associated congenital cardiovascular anomalies. We present an uncommon case of left-sided agenesis with an associated right-sided aortic arch and significant hypoplasia of the ipsilateral lung. Additionally, there is radiographic evidence of emphysema and pulmonary artery hyper...

The role of the corpus callosum versus other cerebral commissures in the interhemispheric integration of visual information was studied in four individuals with complete agenesis of the corpus callosum, two individuals with partial agenesis, one total commissurotomy patient, and normal individuals. Evoked potential (EP) indices of interhemispheric transmission of visual sensory responses were o...

introduction the pericardial agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly. classified as partial or total being asymptomatic in most cases, but some patients are at risk for serious complications and death, and these have indication for surgical treatment. case presentation this paper describes the case of a 21 year old patient, with atypical precordial pain, diagnosed with agenesis of the left perica...

We report a rare case of agenesis of the left internal carotid artery (ICA) and an aortic arch anomaly that presented with ipsilateral congenital Horner's syndrome. Digital subtraction angiography revealed left ICA agenesis shortly after its origin and anastomosis between the left maxillary artery and the supraclinoid segment of the left ICA. Aortography of the aortic arch revealed the right su...

The thyroid is a vascular endocrine gland with two lateral lobes connected by a narrow, median isthmus. Although a wide range of congenital anomalies of the thyroid gland has been reported in the literature, agenesis of the thyroid isthmus is a very rare congenital anomaly. Thyroid isthmus agenesis does not manifest clinical symptoms, and it can be confused with other thyroid pathologies. We de...
