Holt Oram syndrome

Hooked lateral clavicles

Case Discussion:

There is absence of the thumbs and some hypoplasia of the radii. The clavicles display a prominent lateral hook.

In association with congenital heart disease, the upper limb deformities are suggestive of Holt Oram syndrome which was confirmed.

This patient's father also had the condition.
