EDITOR—Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) is a developmental disorder characterised by malformations of the radial ray of the forelimb and by congenital heart disease. The syndrome shows a marked variability in phenotype, with radial ray defects ranging from minor thumb abnormality through to severe reduction defect or phocomelia. The cardiac manifestations of HOS are similarly varied, and patients can p...

Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) is a rare disorder characterized by congenital anomalies of the upper limbs and heart. Cardiac arrhythmias are common in patients with HOS. We successfully managed a 24-yr-old woman with HOS who underwent laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy. Potential problems in the anaesthetic management of patients with HOS are discussed.
متن کاملHolt-Oram syndrome.
The Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant heritable disorder characterized by skeletal upper-limb dysplasias and congenital cardiac defects. We describe a 43-year-old woman who presented with paroxysmal tachycardia and progressive heart failure. Both ring fingers were abnormally short as a result of dysplasia of metacarpal IV (Figure 1). Auscultation revealed a loud systolic murmur at the...
