Abstract

We report on a 14 months old Turkish girl with bilateral triphalangeal thumb and preaxial hexadaktyly on her left hand, bilaterally missing third toes and "Satyr-ears" as typical features of Townes-Brocks Syndrome. Besides reviewing all previous publications we discuss frequency and significance of all features--especially of anorectal malformations and the third missing toe.
