Abstract:
Gluteal and lower extremity hypoplasia with ipsilateral toe brachysyndactyly were noted in a 23-year-old woman similarly affected to the only previously reported case of the lower extremity counterpart of Poland sequence. Since no neurological deficit was found, and electromyographic and nerve conduction studies in the affected limb were normal, we propose a vascular origin which would involve the external iliac artery supply analogous to the subclavian artery supply disruption in the upper extremity Poland sequence.
