FATCO Syndrome Variant - Fibular Hypoplasia, Tibial Campomelia and Oligosyndactyly -- A Case Report.

The word aplasia/hypoplasia is used for partial or total absence of a bone. Fibula, a lower limb bone is one of the most common to be involved with this and its incidence is amongst the highest in long bone deficiencies. FATCO syndrome consisting of fibular aplasia, tibial campomelia and oligosyndactyly has been described in the literature but only one has been reported from India as per our literature review. However, it is important to know multiple regional involvement can occur along with this syndrome and prove to be a major difficulty for the child and the parents both. Due to the rarity of reports on this rare syndrome and difficulty in treatment it is important that each such case should be described to make the management easier.
