Ectrodactyly

Ectrodactyly is a congenital pathology in which a person is missing one or more fingers or toes. It can be caused by various factors, such as genetic mutations, infections during pregnancy, or injury or illness to the mother.

Ectrodactyly can be either unilateral or bilateral. In some cases, it may be associated with other congenital abnormalities such as syndactyly (fused digits), polydacty (extra digits), or aplasia (missing digits).

Clinical manifestations of ectrodactyly may vary depending on the severity of the disease. In mild cases there may be only a slight decrease in the size of the fingers, while in severe cases the fingers may be completely absent.

Treatment for ectrodactyly may include surgery to restore missing fingers. In some cases, skin grafting may be necessary to close the wound.

Although ectrodactyly is a serious pathology, it is not incurable. Early detection and treatment can help improve patients' quality of life and prevent the development of complications.

Ectrodactlya is a congenital anomaly characterized by the absence of one or more fingers on the limbs. Ectrodact is not only an aesthetic drawback, but can also cause discomfort and pain when in contact with objects.

Ectroduction may affect one or more fingers and toes. It happens that a person has a completely missing phalanx, as can be seen in the figure above.

Often, in addition to the absence of phalanges, there are other developmental anomalies. Bone, bone, muscle and skin defects are common. In the early stages of body development, a child may notice minor developmental abnormalities. This may be small grooves on the fingers or small growth of the finger. In most cases, deviations can be detected during the child’s intrauterine development. When diagnosing before the birth of the fetus, you can use invasive methods that allow you to identify possible problems even before the baby is born.
