Abstract

Absent radii a rare skeletal condition marked by the complete failure of the formation of bilateral radius during pregnancy, often associated with radial clubhand and multiple systemic abnormalities. We present a case of a 3 years old boy with absent radii, bilateral radial clubhand, left hip dysplasia and left coxofemoral dislocation associated with pulmonary hypoplasia, right renal hypoplasia and bilateral cryptorchidism. This report describes a rare case and highlights the importance of early control to direct diagnosis, to be aware of the large number of complications that can occur in other organ systems and quickly care for associated abnormalities and find strategies to preserve the functionality.
