Meckel gruber syndrome or dysencephalia splanchnocystica, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by failure of mesodermal induction. Worldwide incidence of MGS is 1 per 13,500-140,000 live births. It is characterized by triad of occipital Meningoencephalocele, polycystic kidneys and post-axial polydactyly. Most fetuses affected with this syndrome die before birth due to oligohydramnios, renal failure or pulmonary hypoplasia. We report a rare case of MGS who delivered live at birth with classical features.

Pulmonary hypoplasia is a bronchopulmonary foregut anomaly in which gross morphology of the lung is preserved but there is decrease in the number or size of airways, vessels, and alveoli. Unilateral pulmonary hypoplasia is a rare clinical condition and most patients reported in the literature are newborns and infants, but patients may remain asymptomatic until late adolescent or till adulthood 65 years old male with parkinsonism was referred to our department with complaints of recent chest symptoms. Clinical examination revealed loss of lung volume in left hemithorax. CT scan thorax and bronchoscopy confirmed the diagnosis of left sided pulmonary hypoplasia. This case report highlights the possibility of pulmonary hypoplasia as one of the differential diagnoses in adult patients presenting with loss of lung volume and to the best of our knowledge he is the eldest patient so far reported.

<p class="abstract">Ulnar hemimelia is a rare postaxial partial or complete longitudinal deficiency of ulna. It has an estimated incidence of 1/100,000-150,000 live births, with a male to female ratio of 3:2. There is usually ulnar deviation of hand and shortening of forearm. Radial head subluxation and fixed flexion deformity of the hand may be associated with it. Complex carpal, metacarpal, and digital abnormalities including absence of triquetrum, capitate and three fingered hand (tridactyly) are additional findings commonly found in association. Here, we present a case of a 17-year-old female with left sided ulnar club hand due to isolated partial ulnar aplasia.</p>
