Patients with Apert syndrome require repeated limb surgery due to their complex deformities. In this study, a full-thickness isograft was performed for the division of Upton type III hands in identical twins syndrome. Nine-month-old presented characterized by craniosynostosis, severe syndactyly and feet, dysmorphic facial features. Division skin grafting were performed. The siblings operated co...

Pfeiffer Syndrome is as rare as Apert syndrome in the Western population. This condition is very rare in the Asian population and has not been previously reported in Korea. The authors report with a review of literature the case of a newborn baby with Pfeiffer syndrome, manifested by bicoronal craniosynostosis, broad thumbs, and big toes. The infant also had bilateral syndactyly of the fingers ...

A female patient, 56 years old, with type A Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome and congenital skeletal abnormalities of the hands and feet is described. Though all four limbs were affected, the patient's main disability was caused by the defects of the right hand: this was short and hypoplastic, with hypoplastic phalanges, absent nails, syndactyly, and fibrous constriction rings on the finger...

A family with the EEC syndrome is reported. Two sibs have the classical form of the condition with ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and clefting. Their mother, however, has only minimal evidence, with preaxial polydactyly of the right hand and duplication of the terminal phalanx of the second toe of the left foot with 3/4 syndactyly. The dilemmas faced by the genetic counsellor are discussed...

The case of a newborn male with trisomy 18 syndrome, having bilateral syndactyly, aplasia and hypoplasia of the foot digits, unilateral ectrodactyly of the left foot and a prominently dorsiflexed hallux, clenched hand with overlapping fingers and general hypertonia, is presented. There are only 5 cases of trisomy 18 syndrome associated with ectrodactyly in the literature. We present a case of t...

Carpenter syndrome (Acrocephalopolysyndactyly type II), first described in 1901, consists of acrocephaly, syndactyly, polydactyly, congenital heart disease, mental retardation, hypogenitalism, cryptorchidism, obesity, umbilical hernia and bony abnormalities. We report a 6 years old boy presenting as a union of these malformations and also having bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Auditory di...

Congenital foot abnormalities such as syndactyly, polydactyly, and brachymetatarsia are commonly seen by plastic surgeons. There have been reports of cases of congenital synostosis of the foot, with the majority of cases involving the rear foot and midfoot Fig. 2. (A) Cross-section of the giant cutaneous horns (GCH) showing hollowing of conical component with surrounding parakeratosis, calcific...

Oro-facial-digital syndrome type II (OFD-II) is characterized by frenulated tongue, midline cleft lip, high arched or cleft palate, micrognathia, syndactyly and polydactyly, bilateral reduplicated hallux, conductive hearing loss, choroidal coloboma and normal intelligence. There are nine forms of oro-facial-digital syndromes with different modes of inheritance. A young female with features of o...

Finger and palm print patterns (dermatoglyphs) are formed in very early pregnancy, at about the same time the limbs are developing, and their formation probably depends upon the surface contours of the palms and soles during morphogenesis. Dermatoglyphs are useful in skeletal dysplasias for the detection and study of syndactyly and symphalangism, for dating the onset and the dysplasias, for dem...
