Abstract:
The birth prevalence of limb reduction defect is 6 per 10,000 births. Most common type of limb reduction defect is terminal transverse defect and its birth prevalence is 1.6 per 10,000 births. Genetic variation, environmental teratogen, genetic-environmental interactions are known to causes of congenital limb defect. But, its exact causes are not known. Especially, congenital limb deficiency of right upper and lower limb has a very low incidence. We experienced one case of right femur-ulna-radius complex among recently delivered fetuses. So, we report this case with review of the literatures.
