Abstract

Congenital limb anomalies are rare. Acheiria is a congenital limb abnormality that presents as an absence of the hand and it is often diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography. Herein we present a case of an 11-year-old female patient with acheiria. This case stresses on further studying the relationship between advanced pregnancy age, drugs or herb use during pregnancy and acheiria.

Keywords: Acheiria; Case reports; Congenital limb deformity.
