Nonadjacent syndactyly in the congenital constriction band syndrome.
Hand anomalies in the amniotic band sequence are frequently both complex and difficult to explain in terms of our conventional understanding of limb embryogenesis. A case manifesting pseudosyndactyly between nonadjacent fingers confirms the role of an in utero disturbance after the seventh week, in concert with close apposition between nearby but not adjacent parts.
