ABSTRACT
Holt-Oram syndrome or heart–hand syndrome is a multisystem congenital disorder, characterized by distinctive malformations of bones of the thumb and forearms and associated abnormalities of the heart. Here we report a rare case of newborn with morphological alterations of upper limbs (absent radius and hypoplastic ulna) and congenital cardiac defects (atrial septal defects and ventricular septal defects), who presented with congestive cardiac failure. This case report illustrates that neonates with anomalies of thumb or upper limbs should always be evaluated for possible congenital heart defects.
Keywords: Atrial septal defects, newborn, Congestive cardiac failure, Hand-heart syndrome.
