Abstract
The femoral hypoplasia-unusual facies syndrome (FFS) is a very rare association of femoral and facial abnormalities. Maternal diabetes mellitus has been mainly involved as the causal agent. Autosomal dominant inheritance was described in few cases. We report a four-year old male with complete absence of both femora, not associated with other congenital anomalies except bilateral undescended testes.
