Abstract

Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the forearm is an extremely rare condition. It is most commonly associated with neurofibromatosis type I (NF1). Patients with NF1-associated pseudoarthrosis have complex medical management and often require surgical intervention due to higher failure rates of union. In this case report, we present a unique case of a newborn baby with congenital pseudoarthrosis of both the radius and ulna that was manifested at birth and shortly thereafter, was diagnosed with NF type 1.
