Abstract
A case of Adams-Oliver syndrome in a Kuwaiti boy with a minor distal limb anomaly is described. This represents a sporadic occurrence of the syndrome, which was treated conservatively in view of the extensive scalp defect. The wound healed completely over a period of 11 months with non-adherent moist dressings. The possible etiologic factors, various clinical presentations, genetic transmission, and the modes of treatment available have been reviewed. We believe this is the first case to be reported in the Middle East.
