Bilateral ulnar longitudinal deficiency with oligodactyly in newborn
Ulnar longitudinal deficiency is a rare congenital upper limb malformation, whose estimated incidence is 1:100,000 newborns. It is believed to be related to the Sonic Hedgehog gene, and the upper limb anomalies vary according to the ulnar involvement. The early diagnosis is not routine, being more common at the first physical examination with the aid of imaging tests.
