CASE STUDY IN POLYDACTYLY

Dr. P. Jyothi, Dr. P. Jayanth Kumar

Abstract :

 

A congenital anomaly characterised by supernumerary digits on the limbs during developmental stage is called polydactyly.  The occurrence of polydactyly varies among different populations.  It is manifested either as an isolated condition or as an associated congenital condition.  We describe two cases where a 30 year old male individual was noted that the left foot comprised of one extra digit on the big toe and another case where a five year old boy had one extra digit on both of his hands on the ulnar side. The pedigree and family history of both the cases did not give any clue towards the heritability of the anomaly.
