Abstract

Absence of the long head of the biceps brachii tendon is rare (only 1 case reported). We believe that our article is the first to report this anomaly as associated with VATER complex (vertebral defects, anal atresia, tracheoesophageal fistula with esophageal atresia, and radial and renal anomalies).
