Abstract

Fetal vascular disruptions can cause specific patterns of birth depending on the location, extent and timing of the disruptive event in the embryonic life. An example of this is subclavian artery supply disruption sequence occurring around 6 weeks of gestation which causes various combinations of Poland, Klippel-Feil and Mobius anomalies. A one-month-old child with features of all three anomalies alongwith other associated features is described here.
