Abstract:
We describe a child with DiGeorge syndrome due to a del22(q11) and a symbrachydactyly of the left hand. The underlying cardiovascular malformations in DiGeorge syndrome may lead to an increased susceptibility to vascular disruptions, giving further support to the subclavian-artery-disruption-sequence theory.
