Abstract

Left tibial agenesis, polysyndactyly with talipes equinovarus deformity and Grade IV vesicoureteral reflux of the right kidney are described in a 40-day-old male and an unrelated 1-month-old male, is also reported with right tibial agenesis, polysyndactyly with talipes equinovarus deformity and right kidney agenesis and left Grade V vesicoureteral reflux.
