Bilateral congenital longitudinal deficiency of the tibia associated with split hand and atrial septal defect.

We present the case of a 17-year-old boy with bilateral tibial hypoplasia and associated split hand and atrial septal defects. These have been reported previously to occur together by other investigators. There were no chromosomal abnormalities and the parents were non-consanguineous.
