Deskripsi
Limb deficiency disorders are rare, aetiologically heterogeneous skeletal dysplasias, they may occur as an isolated anomaly or as a part of syndrome. Femoral duplication is a rare anomaly which has been described as an isolated entity or in association with other congenital defects. We present the case of a 5-month-old male child with multiple congenital skeletal anomalies including protuberance on the bilateral lower legs, ectrodactyly of both feet, bilateral equinovarus deformity, genu valgum with knee flexion deformity and pre-axial polydactyly of the left hand. On detailed clinical evaluation of the patient, a provisional diagnosis of arthrogryposis multiplex congenital was made. Detailed radiographic imaging of the child was performed and multiple skeletal anomalies were identified.
