Triphalangeal thump, thumb duplication, and syndactyly: The first case report in the literature.

RATIONALE: Triphalangeal thumb (TPT) is a rare congenital malformation where the thumb has three phalanges instead of two. Syndactyly is a condition in which children are born with fused or webbed fingers. The combination of TPT, Syndactyly, and thumb duplication is extremely rare, especially when these deformities are combined in one hand. PATIENT CONCERNS: Hand abnormalities and polydactyl have been reported in a 1-year-old boy. DIAGNOSIS: A clinical examination reveals two thumb duplications, finger fusion (Syndactyly), and a thumb with three phalanges (TPT). The diagnosis was based on clinical findings and an X-ray image of the hand. INTERVENTIONS: The Z-plasty method was used to remove the adhesion between the thumb and forefinger, as well as the removal of the medial and distal phalanx of the thumb's medial tip. OUTCOMES: The patient was followed for 2 months and found him in good health. To authors' knowledge, we described an unusual case from Syria, considered the first in medical history. LESSONS LEARNED: General and plastic surgeons should be aware about this unusual mix of the three abnormalities. The family history must also be carefully investigated to explore the occurrence of hereditary illnesses.

Osteopoikilosis with bony deformities of the right toes in a female child: Case report.

INTRODUCTION: Osteopoikilosis (OPK) is an extremely rare benign condition with sclerosing bony dysplasia and multiple benign enostoses. OPK is usually asymptomatic and is typically an incidental finding on imaging studies for unrelated conditions. CASE PRESENTATION: We presented a case of OPK in a 7-year-old female with hallux valgus, shortening and deformity of second and third metatarsals in the right foot. These abnormalities were observed on clinical findings with X-ray imaging, and osteopoikilosjs was confirmed by histopathology. The deformities were treated with surgical intervention, and the patient's condition was followed for 3 months until the patient walked and removed the gypsum. DISCUSSION: OP is a rare, benign disease that rarely causes bony deformities. It is diagnosed clinically and radiographically, so that the deformities are treated only surgically. Follow-up is necessary to assess the movement of the limb. CONCLUSION: The distinctive thing that can be added to the medical literature is that it is possible for osteopoikilosis to cause bone deformities at an early age.
