Özet
The popliteal pterygium syndrome is very rare, and is characterized by a congenital popliteal web accompanying the genitourinary, craniofacial, and musculoskeletal anomalies. We described a case of presumably popliteal pterygium syndrome with severe right popliteal web, right renal agenesis, left bifurcated ninth rib, urethral orifice in the vagina, right presacral discoloration resembling A-V malformation, imperforate anus, skin dimple in the left gluteal region, right calcaneovalgus foot with supernumerary digits and aberrant profunda femoris artery. This is the first report of this combination in the pertinent literature.
