Extractions: Two New Cases of Thrombocytopenia-Absent Radii (TAR) Syndrome* Ercan Kýrými, MD, Nejat Narlý, MD, Mehmet Satar, MD. Thrombocytopenia-absent radii syndrome is characterized by the neonatal onset thrombocytopenia and bilateral absence or hypoplasia of the radii with normal or poorly formed hands and thumbs. In this paper, two unrelated female infants affected by thrombocytopenia-absent radii syndrome are described. At birth, bilateral micromelia of upper limbs, short and radially curved forearms and hypoplastic arms were observed in infants. A severe thrombocytopenia confirmed the clinical diagnosis of thrombocytopenia-absent radii syndrome. One of them died on 19 th day at home with hemorrhagic complications because she was discharged by her family. Other patient supported with thrombocyte suspensions is now eight months old and is still being followed closely at our outpatient department. As a result, two patients with thrombocytopenia-absent radii syndrome which are seen rarely discussed with physical, laboratory and follow specifications. Ann Med Sci 2000;9:78-81 Key words: Thrombocytopenia-absent radii syndrome.

Iniencephaly: defect in the occiput resulting in exposure of the brain, combined with dysraphism of the cervical spine, results in fusion of the occiput to the cervical spine, and retroflexion of the head with an exaggerated spinal lordosis, associated with encephalocele, spinal bifida. 3. Jeune syndrome (asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy): short ribbed limb reduction syndrome, inherited as autosomal recessive, severe rib shortening, thoracic reduction, renal dysplasia, hypoplastic lungs, post axial polydactyly.

Download to citation manager PubMed PubMed Citation Archives of Disease in Childhood The thrombocytopenia-absent radius (TAR) syndrome is characterised by bilateral absence of the radius with both thumbs present (absent thumbs suggests other syndromes) and thrombocytopenia which may be transient and tends to remit in later childhood but is usually symptomatic in early infancy (90% within the first 4 months). The main conditions which might be mistaken for TAR syndrome are Holt-Oram syndrome, Roberts syndrome, Fanconi anaemia, thalidomide embryopathy, and Rapadilino syndrome. TAR

Initial review completed: Auigust 19, 2004; Fanconis anemia (FA) is a paradigm for congenital anomalies, aplastic anemia and predisposition to malignancies. Identification of the disease at birth is based on characteristic physical malformations, as hematologic manifestations at birth are extremely rare. We report a case of FA in a newborn who presented with anopthalmia, unilateral radial ray defect, hemivertebrae and thrombo-cytopenia. Key words: Anopthalmia, Fanconis anemia (FA), Radial ray defects, Thrombocytopenia.

Pat Ouellette On September 28, 1998 my son Alex was born with thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) and missing radii in both arms. The diagnosis was made as TAR Syndrome, meaning "Thrombocytopenia, Absence of Radius syndrome". Tar Syndrome is a rare genetic disease, when Alex was diagnosed the hospital told us that there were 161 known documented cases in Canada. A Spanish study showed that the estimated frequency of Tar syndrome in their area was .42 per 100,000 live born infants. It is not known if we can assume a similar frequency in Canada and in the United States. The Reason for this web page is to help anyone confronted with TAR's Syndrome and at the same time find support for my own son.

Extractions: Other Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes TAR patients are missing one of the two bones from each lower arm. The missing bone is called the radius, and it runs from the elbow to the wrist on the side of the thumb. The thumbs are not missing, as they are in some of the other bone marrow failure disorders (see Fanconi's anemia, Diamond-Blackfan anemia). Bruising is due to decreased production of platelets (the cells which help the blood to clot) by the bone marrow and is usually apparent at birth. The gene for TAR has not been identified. Males and females are affected equally. What are the major findings on physical examination? The radius bone is missing from both lower arms The thumbs are present Patients may have small shoulders Patients may have abnormal knees such as bow legs or knock knees

Extractions: Mon Nov 23 09:16:13 1998 Nyberg, et al, states (p. 538): "Among three cases of Thrombocytopenia & Absent Radius Syndrome detected with prenatal ultrasound, all were detected during the second trimester in fetuses at risk for the disorder. (4 references) Each report documented absent radii prenatally, and two reports documented the hand positioned at a right angle to the forearm." Callen's book (p. 275) does have one statement that might have bearing on your case: "In the absence of familial risk for a radial ray defect, most cases detected prenatally will probably have concomitant and more obvious anomalies that signal a careful search for an extremity abnormality."
