Congenital Limb Deformities

This article reports a case of a congenital unilateral forelimb defect in a two-month-old male puppy with clinical and radiographic findings. Congenital deformities are structural or functional congenital defects arising from errors during development, and they can affect an isolated portion of the body, the complete body or parts of several systems of the body. The congenital absence of a portion of the proximal epiphysis of the radius is an extremely rare condition in human and animal species. Although similar congenital limb deformities have been infrequently reported in dogs, the present case is, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the first report of this type of partial forelimb paraxial radial hemimelia in a puppy, and it represents an addition to the scant literature on this topic.

Congenital Limb Deformities

A case of a unilateral forelimb congenital defect in a three-month-old female puppy dog with clinical and radiographic findings is described here. Congenital absence of humerus with preaxial terminal longitudinal hemimelia is a rare condition in human and animal species. Although similar congenital limb deformities in dogs have previously been documented, the present case is, to the authors’ knowledge, the first report of this type of forelimb hemimelia in a dog, and represents an addition to the scant literature on this topic.

Congenital Limb Deformities

SummaryCase description: A three-year-old cat was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Naples, Italy. The cat had severe pelvic limb deformity, and abnormal development of all four paws.Clinical findings: Radiographs revealed bilateral tibial agenesis, syndactyly, and digital hypoplasia.Treatment and outcome: No treatment was instituted because of the severity of the injury, the adaptation of the cat to the abnormal condition, and the owner's refusal to permit any treatment.Clinical relevance: Congenital limb deformities are rarely reported in the cat and tibial agenesis is considered a very rare disease. This congenital anomaly is well documented and classified in man, and it has been associated with other abnormalities in more complex syndromes. This paper reports clinical and radiographic findings in a cat affected by bilateral complete tibial agenesis associated with other congenital anomalies.

Congenital Limb Deformities

An experimental model for the study of hyperthyroidism in embryonic development was achieved in the local anuran larvae, Bufo melanostictus, by treatment with potassium perchlorate at a critical dose and time of embryogenesis. Phocomely-hemimely and digital deformities of fore- and hind limbs in high percentages of the population were found associated with such critically stimulated tadpoles. Similar deformities were reproduced by exogenous treatment with L-thyroxine sodium. The deformities were severely aggravated if the tadpoles had anti-thyroid treatment before critical stimulation with thyroxine in the sensitive phase of development. Incoordinate cellular differentiation in the malformed limbs was indicated histologically by undifferentiated mesenchyme in the distal extremities although the overlying ectoderm had already formed mature epidermis with specialized skin glands. The differentiated mesodermal components (muscles, cartilages and connective tissues) more proximally were afflicted with degenerative changes. Lytic spinal motor neurones and involuted Mauthner's neurones with precipitate metamorphosis were accompanying features. Embryonic thyrotoxicosis is discussed in relation to congenital deformities of limbs.

Congenital Limb Deformities

Congenital limb deformities are rarely reported in cats. This paper describes the radiographic findings of congenital forelimb malformations in two cats. The radiographic changes were suggestive of an autopodium ectromelia associated with humero-ulnar synostosis in one case and zeugopodium ectromelia in the other case. Congenital feline limb deformities are poorly documented and, to the authors' knowledge, this is the first time that humero-ulnar synostosis has been reported in cats.

At Home

This article is based on the experiences of a paediatric occupational therapist who found herself in the position of helping a child with severe congenital limb deformities. She describes the initial occupational therapy assessment and the treatment programme, which was aimed at developing independence as far as possible. The equipment used is discussed, including adaptations required at home and in school. The child has now largely adapted to his physical problems, but is emotionally very dependent on stable relationships with adults.

Congenital Limb Deformities

We report a case of spontaneous rare birth deformity. A case of Amelia and Phocomelia in a neonate. Amelia is a rare congenital disorder, even more so, is the combined amelia and phocomelia in a neonate. True Phocomelia was defined as the total absence of the intermediate segments of the limb. With the hand or foot (normal, almost normal, or malformed), directly attached to the trunk. The common aetiological association with phocomelia is from the use of thalidomide and genetic inheritance, as an autosomal recessive trait, involving chromosome 8. Isolated amelia is not generally considered to be of genetic origin. We present a neonate delivered by a 28-years multipara in Liberia, in West Africa Sub-Region, with amelia involving the two upper limbs, right lower limb and a Phocomelia involving the left lower limb (absence of tibia and fibula and feet with three toes). Africa is the only continent not included in the International Clearinghouse for Birth Defects Surveillance and Research. It is hoped that case reports of congenital limb deformities from Africa, will contribute to the formation of a database for birth defects shortly.

Sporadic Cases

Juvenile polyposis coli is a rare condition in children with neoplastic potential having an incidence of about 1 in 1,00,000 population. A minority of such patients have extraintestinal abnormalities like cardiac and pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. Juvenile polyposis is a disorder of hamartomatous polyposis syndrome having a malignant potential. The progression of hamartomatous polyp to carcinoma is still elucidated when compared to the understanding of transformation of an adenomatous polyp into a carcinoma via a gatekeeper defect. Here is the report of a rare case of Juvenile polyposis in a 7 year old boy who presented with bleeding per rectum and prolapsed rectum showing multiple polyps. Patient had undergone surgery for closure of ventricular septal defect and pulmonary valvotomy 3 years back. Proctocolectomy was done and the resected colon showed 40 polyps. Histologically polyps contained benign glandular tissue and one of the larger polyps showed low grade epithelial dysplasia. In this case, there was no positive family history and extraintestinal congenital defects are said to be more common in such sporadic cases.

Prompt Diagnosis

We describe a case of femoral nerve palsy caused due to non-infective large iliopsoas bursitis after 10 years of cementless ceramic-on-metal THA. Bursectomy and exploration of femoral nerve were done to relieve the compressive symptoms of femoral nerve. Patient neurological symptoms were recovered within six months. Iliopsoas bursitis after THA can lead to anterior hip pain, lump in inguinal area or abdomen, limb swelling due to venous compression or more rarely neurovascular compressive symptoms depending on size and extension. Treating physician should be aware of this rare condition after THA in the absence of any radiographic findings so that prompt diagnosis and treatment can be carried out.
