Apert syndrome or acrocephalosyndactyly is a rare autosomal dominant malformation syndrome characterized by craniosynostosis, symmetric severe syndactyly, and a variety of abnormalities of the skin, skeleton, brain, and visceral organs. A case of Apert syndrome and the clinical and specific cutaneous manifestations of this condition are reviewed.

BACKGROUND Syndactyly of the foot is the second most common congenital foot anomaly. In East Asia, however, no large case study has been reported regarding the clinical features of isolated foot syndactyly. In this study, we report a review of 118 patients during the last 25 years. METHODS We conducted a chart review of patients who underwent surgical correction for foot syndactyly between Ja...

INtROdUCtION: Congenital syndactyly occurs in isolated and syndromic forms; method of reconstruction must be tailored to the type of syndactyly and postoperative function will depend on the preoperative state of the hand in addition to the method of reconstruction selected. We present the 18 year experience of surgical reconstruction of congenital syndactyly in all of its forms at a high throug...

We report on a newborn girl with syndactyly type IV, hexadactyly of feet, and right tibial hemimelia. She has 5 other relatives with identical anomalies of the hands and feet transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Syndactyly type IV is rare as is absence of the tibia. We suggest the possibility that syndactyly type IV may be a more complex entity, including lower limb malformations, and tr...
