In this paper, we report a case of a 23-year-old male patient with bilateral absence of the flexor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis brevis muscles with an intact functioning opponens pollicis and flexor pollicis longus muscles with bilateral thenar atrophy due to its rarity. All physical, neurological, ultrasonographic, direct radiographic, electromyographic and MRI studies were used to confirm and document this congenital anomaly.

Little Finger

Absence of flexor digitorum superficialis function in the little finger is a relatively common congenital anomaly that can complicate assessment of little finger injuries. We reviewed the prevalence of unilateral and bilateral absence of superficialis function in the published literature. In appropriate studies identified (1352 people), the anomaly was unilateral in 92 individuals (6.8%) and bilateral in 81 (6.0%). If superficialis function is absent in one little finger, the probability of absence in the opposite hand is 0.64. If superficialis function is present, the probability of absence in the other little finger is 0.02 (1 in 50). Absence of little finger superficialis function in one hand is therefore not a reliable indicator of this function in the opposite hand.

Flexor Pollicis Longus

Congenital absence of the flexor pollicis Iongus, associated with hypoplasia of the thumb, is an unusual anomaly. A case of congenital absence of the flexor pollicis longus without hypoplasia or aplasia of the thumb and thenar muscles, which is described, is very rare. Surgical treatment for the transfer of the ring finger flexor superficialis tendon to provide the thumb interphalangeal joint with flexion resulted in a significant improvement in pinch.
