Unilateral Cleft Hand with Cleft Foot

Abstract

Abstract:
Congenital anomalies of the hand form an important class of congenital malformations. They have a huge functional
importance because of the part played by the hand in the daily activities of a person. The deformities also have
significant cosmetic significance and may also be associated with other anomalies. Amongst the congenital anomalies,
central deficiency or cleft hand is relatively rare. The association of cleft foot with cleft hand is an even more rare
occurance. We present a case report of a 6 year old child, born of a non-consanginous marriage, having congenital
central deficiency of ipsilateral hand and foot.
