Brachydactyly is a relatively common congenital anomaly and can be associated with many other malformations. However, brachydactyly in association with biliary atresia is rare. We present a male child with strikingly symmetrical brachydactyly and nail hypoplasia, extrahepatic biliary atresia, patent ductus arteriosus, seizures, developmental delay and cataracts. This combination of features has not previously been described and we suggest that this case represents a new syndrome.
