This study was designed to investigate the prevalence of dorsal dimelia in a series of 160 consecutive patients with congenital anomalies of the hands and feet, and to investigate the distribution of dorsal dimelia and the concurrent anomalies. Five cases (3.1%) showed evidence of dorsal dimelia and the distribution of dorsal dimelia was similar to the distribution of concurrent anomalies in all five cases. Another 11 cases of concurrent dorsal dimelia with other congenital anomalies have been reported previously with a positive match in the distributions in all cases. This similarity in the distribution in all 16 reported cases (including the five cases in the current study) is statistically significant. It is concluded that dorsal dimelia in humans is not as rare as it is generally thought to be, and that it may be viewed as an error of dorso-ventral patterning, which occurs in the same distribution as other concurrent anomalies.

“…However, the exact incidence of GU anomalies in EEC syndrome should be determined in larger number of patients. Various GU anomalies have been reported, including renal dysplasia (Rollnick and Hoo 1988;Moerman and Fryns, 1996;Frick et al, 1997), unilateral or bilateral renal agenesis (Rosselli and Gulienetti, 1961;Maisels, 1970;Kaiser-Kupfer, 1973), duplication of kidney (Preus and Fraser, 1973), duplication of urinary collecting system (Aldenhoff et al, 1978;Nardi et al, 1992), ureteric occlusion (Maisels, 1970;Frick et al, 1997), ureterocoele (London et al, 1985;Rollnick and Hoo, 1988;Moerman and Fryns, 1996;Frick et al, 1997), bladder neck contracture (Brill, 1972), unilateral hydronephrosis (Maisels, 1970;London et al, 1985;Rollnick and Hoo, 1988), bilateral hydronephrosis (Walker and Clodius, 1963;Johnson, 1976) and hypospadia (Rodini and Richieri-Costa, 1990). Although there were some reported cases of EEC syndrome with renal dysplasia, such cases with anomalies identical to the right nephrogenic cyst as a part of segmental dysplasia enclosing the main kidney had not been reported before.…”
