Hence, in 13 of all 14 previously described cases with FATCO syndrome, fibular aplasia was present. [jbsr.be]

[…] in less than 1 in 1,000,000 newborns.[3] It has been known to be more commonly present in males.[1] It was first diagnosed in 2005 by Courtens et al. who recognised the malformations with his present case and four others that were similarly described [en.wikipedia.org]

Fibular aplasia with ecterodactyly (MIM 113310) is reported to present with hypoplastic phalanges of the hands or feet, split hand/foot malformation, and fibular aplasia or hypoplasia. [journals.lww.com]

A 32-year-old female, G5/P2022 presented for her fetal anatomic survey at 20 2/7 weeks which showed a short left femur, short bowed left tibia, fibular hypoplasia and a left foot shorter than the right, leading to a diagnosis of FATCO (Fibular aplasia [iomcworld.org]

• Fever

  There was no history of fever, trauma, rash, or teratogenic exposure during the antenatal period. [journals.lww.com]

• Nail Abnormality

  FATCO syndrome does not manifest pelvic, femoral, ulnar, or nail abnormalities. Moreover, a straight femur characterizes FATCO syndrome. The genetic cause of FATCO syndrome remains unknown. [journals.lww.com]

• Pain

  In our case, neither instability nor pain was reported by the patient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Respiratory Distress

• Short Legs

  Kahveci, 2010) A male was born to unrelated parents aged 29 (father) and 25 (mother).[8] On the day of birth, physical examination revealed: Oligosyndactyly of the left foot[8] A short and angulated left leg[8] Radiographs revealed a short angulated tibia [en.wikipedia.org]

• Coxa Vara

  Various other anomalies which are often associated with fibular hemimelia include anterolateral bowing of the tibia, valgus deformity at the knee, condylar hypoplasia or agenesis, short femur, proximal focal femoral deficiency and coxa vara. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Confusion

  "[4] Evans et al. have also defined Hecht Scott syndrome as a "heterogeneous disorder with a dominant inheritance".[9] Hecht Scott syndrome often gets confused with Fuhrmann syndrome.[10] However, in the case of Fuhrmann's syndrome, there is a homozygous [en.wikipedia.org]

Commonly accepted avenues of treatment include the use of an orthoses, epiphysiodesis, limb lengthening, and amputation with prosthesis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

More About FATCO Syndrome In terms of treatment, the main goals are to preserve the foot and to make the affected limbs equal in length to their counterparts. Surgeries are options, but treatment varies from patient to patient. [patientworthy.com]

Given the paucity of reports on this rare syndrome and the lack of a standardized treatment approach, it is important that each case of FATCO syndrome is reported. [researchportal.vub.be]

There is no conclusive prognosis of mutation in genes causing Hecht Scott evidence but due to the high prevalence of this disease in males, it was suggested by Hecht and Scott that the disease has an "autosomal dominant gene with decreased penetrance [en.wikipedia.org]

Its etiology is currently unknown, but there is a male predominance. There are less than 30 cases reported in the literature but only three with prenatal diagnosis. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

The etiology of limb malformations is diverse: they may be sporadic, single gene in origin, or occasionally the result of chromosome aneuploidy. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]

[4] It could also present with shortening of femur and tibia, talipes equinovarus, valgus deformity, flexion contracture, anteroposterior instability of the knee and ankle, tarsal coalition, and deficiency of the lateral rays of the foot.[5],[6] Its etiology [go.gale.com]

The precise etiology of FH is unclear. The majority is caused by nongenetic causes such as radiation and teratogens [3]. A proposed theory is that of a disruption of the lower limb developmental field during embryogenesis [3]. [jbsr.be]

Pathophysiology The defect may be isolated or part of a Malformation Syndrome. The severity may vary for a particular segment or as a result of the number of extremities involved. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]
