Abstract

Brachyphalangy, polydactyly and tibial aplasia/hypoplasia is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. The present report represents the ninth reported case and only the second case involving a female. She had a characteristic pattern of limb anomalies including agenesis of the tibiae and bilateral preaxial polydactyly of the feet, associated with genital hypoplasia. In addition our patient had wormian bones, a lacrimal sac fistula, an ectopic kidney and an anteriorly placed anus, which are findings not previously described in this condition.
