Abstract
Bipartite scaphoid has been debated, and is of a traumatic origin for some authors and congenital for others. The aim of study is to distinguish clinical, radiographic and MR criteria for the diagnosis of congenital bipartite scaphoid. I describe a case of a patient with bilateral bipartite scaphoid admitted at my clinic following a traumatic accident which produced a fracture of the proximal pole of the right carpal scaphoid. The patient had a history of bipartite scaphoid. In conclusion, I believe that congenital origin is more probable and this rare pathology is a sporadic form of Holt-Oram-like syndrome.
