Encephalocele-radial, cardiac, gastrointestinal, anal/renal anomalies: novel evidence for a new condition?

The association between encephalocele and radial defects is considered uncommon. These features have been occasionally described separately in certain recurrent conditions such as VACTERL association, oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum and Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18). DK-phocomelia is a rare syndrome characterized by both findings.
