RODRIGUEZ JORGE, Belkis Lázara; DIAZ MOREJON, Lucía  y  SANTA CRUZ, María. Thrombocytopenia with Absence of Radius. Case Presentation. Rev. Finlay [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.1, pp. 56-62. ISSN 2221-2434.

The syndrome of thrombocytopenia with absence of radius is an uncommon congenital malformation characterized by bilateral radial aplasia with presence of both thumbs and thrombocytopenia. Malformations are usually present in lower limbs, in addition to cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological and vascular diseases. A case of a girl with a bilateral radio absence, confirmed at birth is presented, who was admitted aged 4 months due to slight generalized petechial purpura and moderate thrombocytopenia, without other associated anomalies. Several studies were carried out that included a medullogram. The diagnosis of thrombocytopenia was made with absence of radii. The evolution of the case has been satisfactory and his medical attention has been limited to periodic clinical and hematological check-ups; as well as monitoring by the specialty of orthopedics. The objective of this presentation is to show the clinical behavior of this unusual disorder which is the first case reported in Cienfuegos.
