Cleft foot is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by a central conical defect and deficiency of the foot rays. Syndactyly is the fusion of the skin with or without the bone of adjacent digits, and it may be associated with syndrome-related cleft foot. The aim of the treatment of cleft foot and syndactyly is to obtain a normal form and function by closing the cleft defect, obtaining symmetrical and cosmetic feet, allowing patients to wear normal shoes comfortably, and preventing collapse and angulation deformities of the toes. In this study, the treatment of congenital cleft foot and syndactyly coexistence is presented, and it is demonstrated that excess skin after soft-tissue syndactylization of the cleft foot can be used to reconstruct syndactyly defects.

Split hand/foot malformation (SHFM) also known ectrodactyly is a rare orthopaedic malformation which is characterised by the deficiency or absence of one or more central digits of the hand or foot. The associated anomalies are median cleft, syndactyly or aplasia/hypoplasia of the phalanges, metacarpals and metatarsals of hands or feet. It can be isolated or accompany a syndrome. İn our case, we introduced prental diagnosis of isolated form of ectrodactyly in both extremities. After genetic counselling we terminated the. In this report, we aimed to explain the importance of multidiciplinary approach to extremity anomalies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ektrodaktili, ektodermal displazi, yarık dudak ve damak sendromu (EEC); ektrodaktili, ektodermal displazi ve orofasiyal yarık ile karakterize gelişimsel bir genetik hastalıktır. Literatürde bu konu ile ilgili çok fazla vaka rapor edilmemektedir. Sendromun esas komponentleri; el ve ayaklarda ektrodaktili ve sindaktili, normal veya yarık damaklı yarık dudak ve deri (hipopigmente ve kuru cilt, hiperkeratinoz, deri atrofisi), kıl (seyrek saç ve kaş), diş (küçük, yok veya displastik diş), tırnak( tırnak distrofisi) ve dış salgı bezleri ( terin azalması veya yokluğu, yağlı ve tükürük bezleri ) dahil olduğu anormal ektodermal yapılardır. Tedavisi; ortopedi, plastik ve diş cerrahisi, oftalmolojist, dermatolog ve konuşma terapisti ve psikologların birlikte çalışacağı multidisipliner bir yaklaşıma ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Biz literatürde ilk kez rastlanan hidrosefalili EEC sendromlu bir vakayı sunduk.

Ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, cleft lip, and palate syndrome (EEC) is a genetic developmental disorder characterized by ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and orofacial clefts (cleft lip/ palate). A few cases have been reported in literature. The cardinal components of the syndrome are ectrodactyly and syndactyly of the hands and feet, cleft lip with or without cleft palate, and abnormalities ectodermal structures including skin (i.e. hypopigmented and dry skin, hyperkeratosis, skin atrophy), hair (sparse hair and eye brows), teeth (small, absent or dysplastic teeth), nails (nail dystrophy) and exocrine glands (reduction/ absence of sweat, sebaceous and salivary glands). A multidisciplinary approach for treatment is needed which is co-ordinated by orthopedic, plastic, dental surgeons, ophthalmologist, dermatologists and speech therapists, psychologists. We presented EEC syndrome case with hydrocephaly by the literature. [Cukurova Med J 2013; 38(3.000): 531-535]
