Thrombocytopenia and absent radii syndrome with type III phocomelia and orthopaedic management

Abstract

Thrombocytopenia with radial aplasia (TAR) syndrome is a rare congenital defect with skeletal system abnormalities accompanied usually by cardiac, hematological and gastrointestinal system abnormalities. Our case is a 6-month old infant with TAR-syndrome who also has type III distal phocomelia in which the hand is attached directly to humerus without a forearm segment. Patients with TAR syndrome and phocomelia are not described in literature. Spontaneous remission is expected after 12 months if the thrombocytopenia crisis' are supported by thrombocyte transfusions. These patients have good prognosis for longevity. Whole blood count should be performed for the infants with radius aplasia at birth to assess the correct diagnosis of this syndrome. The treatment of orthopaedic problems in TAR syndrome should be planned after the first year when the spontaneous remission is achieved.
