Prenatal identification of hand and foot anomalies is important in view of their association with chromosomal abnormalities and genetic syndromes. In this report we describe the prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis of a hallux duplication in a second-trimester detailed scan. To our knowledge, this report documents the first case of this rare form of preaxial polydactyly of the foot to be detecte...

Great toe calorimetry in peripheral vascular diseases.

Blood flow was measured in the great toe calorimetrically in various peripheral vascular diseases, after release of sympathetic nerve tone by indirect heating supplemented by tetraethylammonium chloride. There was a striking decrease in blood flow in thromboangiitis obliterans. T HE DIGITAL calorimetric technic for measuring blood flow has recently been evaluated critically and found to be soun...
