“…Ulnar longitudinal deficiency (ULD) is characterized by the lack of formation of the ulna, which frequently can lead to anomalies of the hand and fingers. One of the most common dysplasias of the ulna is the ulnar club hand, but it is still up to 10 times rarer than radial deficits [ 4 ]. The cause of ULD can sometimes be explained by inherited syndromes or other associated syndromes, but often, as is the likely case for this patient, the cause is unknown.…”

Congenital limb reduction defects affect 1 in 1,900 babies born in the US. Limb reduction refers to the shortening or total absence of a limb or a specific segment of a limb. Congenital deficiencies of the upper limb are the most common location and comprise 58.5% of newborn limb reduction deficiencies. Longitudinal deficiencies affect the long axis of the limb and can affect one bone predominantly or can be hypoplasia or aplasia of several bones. To our knowledge, this case is a unique discussion of a baby born with longitudinal ulnar deficiency without any other commonly seen associated syndrome.

“…The age at surgical treatment is important in the functional outcome of patients with congenital upper extremity anomalies. In the first year of life, there is greater cerebral plasticity and such deformities that need correction, bearing other considerations in mind, should be surgically done as early as possible as the child will adapt functionally better (10). Early presentation cannot be overemphasized.…”

Background: About 1–2% of neonates have congenital anomalies; of these, 10% affect the upper limbs. Congenital anomalies are structural or metabolic defects present at birth. Objective: To review cases seen over a four-year period in a tertiary specialist hospital in Lagos and share our experience. Methodology: Case notes and theatre records of patients with congenital upper limb anomalies were retrieved and relevant data extracted. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 20. Results: 46 patients with 53 diagnoses of upper extremity congenital anomalies: 28 were males and 18 females between 5 weeks and 14 years. 17 patients (37%) presented within the first 12 months of life. Average ages of mothers and fathers were 34.1 and 37 years respectively. 26% of mothers had febrile illnesses and 28.3% used herbal products during the index pregnancies. Swanson’s group 2 was the commonest (58.4). Syndactyly was the commonest descriptive individual diagnosis (49%). Treatments were individualized according to specific diagnosis. Conclusions: Congenital anomalies of the upper extremities present as various diagnostic entities. Syndactyly was the most frequently encountered here. Keywords: Upper limbs, Congenital, Anomalies

“…Nous n'avons pas trouvé des études africaines sur l'hémimélie radiale dans la littérature révisée. L'hémimélie radiale est fréquemment associée à d'autres anomalies congénitales ou des syndromes génétiques comme les anomalies chromosomiques, le syndrome de Holt-Oram, le syndrome de Roberts, le syndrome de Rothmund-Thomson, la thrombocytopénie-aplasie radiale, le syndrome de Townes-Brocks, l'association malformative VATER et l'anémie de Fanconi [1,5,6]. Nous n'avons observé aucune autre anomalie chez notre cas.…”

Radial hemimelia is a congenital longitudinal defect of formation of the radial axis characterized by the partial or total absence of the radius. We report a rare case of bilateral total radial hemimelia diagnosed at Sominé Dolo hospital’s radiology department of Mopti in order to clarify imaging’s contribution. He was sent to us for x-rays of the upper limbs for malformation assessment. The physical examination had found a permanent flexion of the forearms and a radial deviation of both hands giving bird's wing appearance. Radiographic exploration of the upper limbs showed a total and bilateral absence of the radius. Total radial hemimelia is a rare malformation of the upper limb. Medical imaging is essential in the diagnosis of this congenital anomaly. Résumé L'hémimélie radiale est un défaut congénital longitudinal de formation de l'axe radial caractérisé par l'absence partielle ou totale du radius. Nous rapportons un cas rare d’une hémimélie totale radiale bilatérale diagnostiquée au service de radiologie de l’hôpital Sominé Dolo de Mopti dans le but de préciser l’apport de l’imagerie médicale. Il nous a été adressé pour radiographie des deux membres supérieurs pour bilan malformatif. L’examen physique avait objectivé une flexion permanente des avant-bras et une déviation radiale des deux mains donnant l’aspect en aile d’oiseau. L’exploration radiographique des membres supérieurs a objectivé une absence totale et bilatérale du radius. L’hémimélie radiale totale est une malformation rare du membre supérieur. L’imagerie médicale est incontournable dans le diagnostic de cette anomalie congénitale.

Congenital Deformities of the Upper Limbs.

Abstract: This article, divided into three parts, had the aims of reviewing the most common upper-limb malformations and describing their treatments. In this first part, failure of formation is discussed. The bibliography follows after the first part.
