Abstract

Congenital talipes equino varus (CTEV), also known as congenital club foot is one of the common developmental deformities occurring at ankle, subtalar and metatarsal joints. Three elements comprise this deformity- equinus, inversion of foot and adduction of the forefoot relative to the hind-foot and equinus. The incidence of the deformity is 1 per 1000 live births. 20% of cases are associated with distal arthrogryposis, congenital myotonic dystrophy, myelomeningocele, amniotic band sequence and genetic syndromes such as trisomy 18 or chromosome 22q11 deletion syndrome, in the remaining cases the deformity is isolated and the exact etiology is unknown. We are presenting a case of aborted male fetus of 20 weeks with congenital talipes equino varus in left foot with enlarged urinary bladder. The purpose of this report is to document the association of CTEV with enlarged urinary bladder.
