RESUMO
The syndrome of fibular aplasia, tibial campomelia, and oligosyndactyly (FATCO syndrome) is a rare genetic disease that has been increasingly reported over the past 40 years. We report the case of a newborn boy with unilateral skeletal abnormalities that were evident clinically and radiologically. The baby was an infant of a diabetic mother, and the Egyptian parents were consanguineous with a strong family history of genetic diseases and congenital anomalies. Besides describing a new case report of this syndrome, we emphasize the importance of prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling, especially for families at high risk for genetic diseases in developing countries.
