A fetus with pre-and post-axial polydactyly

El ve/veya ayakların konjenital deformitelerinden biri olan polidaktili, izole olabileceği gibi, bir sendromun parçası da olabilir. İzole polidaktili sıklıkla otozomal dominant iken, sendromik polidaktili sıklıkla otozomal resesiftir. Polidaktili sıklıkla sadece el veya ayakta bulunurken, her ikisinde bulunması oldukça enderdir. Olgumuz, 20. gebelik haftası ultrasonunda tanı alan her iki elde hem preaksiyal ve postaksiyal; ayrıca her iki ayakta preaksiyal polidaktili olgusudur.

Fetal preaksiyal ve postaksiyal polidaktili

Polydactyly, one of the congenital deformities of the hands and/or feet occurs as an isolated disorder or as part of a syndrome. Isolated polydactyly is often autosomal dominant, while syndromic polydactyly is commonly autosomal recessive. Polydactyly commonly involves only the hand or the foot, however involving both hands and feet is rare. We report a case of a fetus with pre-axial and post-axial polydactyly involving both hands and pre-axial polydactyly involving both feet, diagnosed at 20th-week-ultrasound scan.
