This report presents a case of a one-month three-day-old full-term female infant with hydrometrocolpos (HMC) and post-axial polydactyly whose first clinical sign was acute intestinal obstruction and hydroureteronephrosis, caused by compression of the structures due to the increasing size of the cystic-like pelvic mass. This is the first report of HMC with post-axial polydactyly complicated with acute intestinal obstruction in Peru. It raises importance on prenatal diagnosis, management and complications of HMC. Although it is rare, clinicians should have it as an option when discussing abdominal cystic masses in neonates to perform early management and avoid complications. Continuous follow-up should be carried out on patients presenting with HMC and post-axial polydactyly to assess for Bardet-Biedl syndrome, which could affect different systems in those patients long-term.

This clinical lesson addresses the treatment options for polydactyly, emphasizing the lack of consensus in the Netherlands regarding the timing and method of intervention. The study aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for the management of post-axial polydactyly type B. Two cases are presented, each illustrating different approaches to surgical intervention for post-axial polydactyly type B in a 1-year-old boy (Patient A) and a newborn girl (Patient B).

Polydactyly is a common occurrence, observed as the presence of extra digit/s in the hands and feet. It can be categorized into preaxial, postaxial, and mesoaxial forms based on the location of the additional digit. In most instances only a single extra digit is present, research reports with more than one extra digit have been published.

Purpose: Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by pleiotropism that affects multiple organ systems. The primary features of BBS include rod-cone dystrophy, renal anomalies, post axial polydactyly, and neurologic deficits. The clinical picture of BBS is extensively heterogenous, with inter and intra familial patients varying in levels of syndromic manifestations and severity of symptoms.
