title: Hypoglossia-hypodactylia syndrome with jejunal atresia in an infant of a diabetic mother.
abstract: Despite advances in therapy for maternal diabetes, pregnancies of diabetic women remained at an increased risk of spontaneous abortion or delivery of an infant with major malformation. We report on an infant of a diabetic mother with hypoglossia-hypodactylia associated with complete jejunal atresia. A common pathogenesis for these 2 malformations could be a vascular disruptive mechanism with in utero arterial thrombosis.
