An unusual case of preaxial polydactyly of the hand (triplication of the thumbs)

چکیده
Preaxial polydactyly is the most common duplication pattern in white and Asian populations (1). It is a congenital anomaly with a wide range of manifestations. Current classification do not have the capacity to classify all different types of radial polydactyly. We describe here a very rare and unusual case of bilateral preaxial polydactyly (triplication) in a woman and report the operations results. We have not found similar case in the literature. Our case is unique and did not fit into the classification systems described for thumb polydactyly.

متن کاملPathogenesis of preaxial polydactyly of the hand in human embryos.
Hand plates with preaxial polydactyly from 13 human embryos of the Carnegie stages 17-23 were examined macro- and microscopically. Morphological features in early pathogenesis of preaxial polydactyly are (1) an abnormal extension and a delayed involution of the apical ectodermal ridge on the preaxial border of the hand plate in stages 17 and 18, (2) a precocious development of an interdigital n...
متن کاملA and B preaxial polydactyly with syndactyly of feet and hands in the same person--a case report.
Preaxial polydactyly of the hand is more common than postaxial polydactyly and postaxial polydactyly of the foot is more common than preaxial in white patients. Syndactyly is commonly regarded as next in frequency among the congenital hand deformities. Preaxial polydactyly of the feet and hands and polydactyly type A and B with syndactyly in the same individual is a rare condition. In this work...
