Symbrachydactyly is a disruption of embryonic formation and differentiation that leads to a shorter and smaller upper limb with underdeveloped digits such as short or webbed digits, nubbins, or absence of digits. We report a case of a newborn who had symbrachydactyly of multiple digits in the right hand that was not diagnosed during the prenatal period.
