Abstract

The acrofacial dysostosis includes a heterogeous group of diseases with radial hypoplasia, it is named Nager syndrome, which has a low not defined incidence. This syndrome is characterized by presenting a peculiar facie, accompanied by congenital defects involving radius bone; a few very severely affected individuals have shortened upper limbs (phocomelia). In this work a patient presenting phenotypic features associated with this syndrome is described. A medical literature review was conducted making possible to diagnose this condition providing genetic counseling as well.
