Abstract EN
Tibial aplasia is an uncommon lower limb malformation that can occur isolated or be part of a more complex malformation pattern.
We describe a 9-year-old boy born after uneventful pregnancy and delivery.
Family history was negative for maternal diabetes and other malformations.
The patient presented with left tibial aplasia and homolateral prexial foot polydactyly.
He also displayed enamel dysplasia and bifid scotum with cryptorchidism.
Literature review failed to identify a significant syndromic association between lower limb defects of the tibial type and the genital anomalies reported here.
The combination of tibial aplasia with midline genital malformations further supports the hypothesis that the tibial ray development mirrors the morphogenetic process of the radial structures.
Accordingly, the malformation pattern observed in the present patient may be pathogenetically explained by an insult occurring during late blastogenesis.
