Holt-Oram syndrome associated with hypoplastic peripheral vasculature and midsystolic click.
Holt-Oram syndrome is a rare, autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by upper extremity skeletal abnormalities and cardiac defects. The most common skeletal anomalies involve the thumbs and range from minor radiographic abnormalities to phocomelia. The most common cardiovascular abnormality is ostium secundum ASD, followed by ventriculo-septal defect and ostium primum ASD. MVP and hypoplastic peripheral vasculature of the upper extremities have been reported only rarely. We have reported the case of a patient with HOS who has both hypoplastic peripheral upper extremity vasculature and evidence of MVP.
