Abstract

Thrombocytopenia with absent radii (TAR) syndrome is a rare congenital syndrome that follows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. TAR syndrome is characterized by thrombocytopenia and bilateral absence (aplasia) of the radii of the forearms. This syndrome can be associated with defects within the skeletal, cardiac, renal, or gastrointestinal systems. It is important for clinicians treating patients with TAR syndrome to be aware of the myriad of complications that may arise in the other organ systems in order to promptly diagnose and treat any associated anomalies. We present a case of an African American infant diagnosed with TAR syndrome who was also found to have grade 5 vesicoureteral reflux and moderate right hydronephrosis, as well as cow's milk protein allergy.
