We describe a 2‐year‐old boy with a non‐palpable right radial pulse associated with underdevelopment of the arm. An arteriogram showed a narrowing of the distal part of the right subclavian, axillary and brachial arteries, and poor collateral circulation. This patient illustrates a rare cause of an absent radial pulse, other than Takayasu's disease.
