Abstract

The present study highlights an usual case of congestive cardiac failure. Cardiovascular, gastrointestinal or renal anomalies can also occur. FA “facies” microcephaly, small eyes, epicanthal folds, abnormal ears. A 11 year old male presented in emergency with complain of generalized weakness and loss of apetite from 10 days, fever and cough from 5 days, vomiting(3-4 episodes/day) from 3 days. He had a history of similar episode and blood transfusion 2 months back. In our case patient presented in shock with CHF. He had severe anemia with hypoplastic thumb with short stature underdeveloped penis and abnormal pigmentation.

Keywords: Pancytopenia, hypoplastic thumb, depigmentation, short stature, congestive cardiac failure.
