BILATERAL RADIAL DEFICIENCY WITH LOWER-LIMB INVOLVEMENT

We describe a 10-month-old boy with an unclassified form of radial apl asia with absent thumbs, tibia hypo/-aplasia, and partial absence of t oes. Only a few cases with similar limb deficiencies have been publish ed. We try to classify the malformations on the basis of embryological considerations and discuss possible differential diagnosis.
