Abstract

Fibular aplasia, tibial campomelia and oligosyndactyly (FATCO) syndrome (OMIM 246570) is an extremely rare syndrome first described by Hecht and Scott [1]. The etiology of the syndrome is currently unknown. This syndrome is commonly sporadic, but autosomal dominant inheritance has also been proposed. Although fibular aplasia is among the congenital malformations that develop due to diabetes, FATCO syndrome is a separate entity. In addition to the unknown genetic cause of this syndrome, which has typical findings, the mother’s pregnancy and diabetes history should also be taken well. Corrective operations, physical therapy and regular development follow-up very important in these patients who do not have mental, cardiac and facial dysmorphism, requires multidisciplinary care.
