Introduction: Radial ray syndrome is a rare congenital defect that may be isolated or associated with other anomalies. Radial ray anomalies comprise of a large spectrum of upper limb anomalies which range from partial (radial hypoplasia) to a complete (radial aplasia) deficiency of the radius with or without accompanying deficiency of the thumb bones.

Case Report: A 31 year old G3P1L1A1 with19+3 weeks of gestation presented to our hospital Chalmeda Anand Rao Institute Of Medical Sciences on 16/12/2021 with TIFFA scan report showing radial ray syndrome and termination of pregnancy was done in this patient

Conclusion: Radial ray malformation is an isolated finding which and can be unilateral or bilateral. Careful examination of the fetus will help to determine whether are any associated anomalies.
