title: Symbrachydactyly involving both the hand and foot. A report of two cases.
abstract: Symbrachydactyly involving both the hand and foot is extremely rare. Two such cases are described. The first patient was a two-month-old female with symbrachydactyly of the left hand and foot. The second patient was a one-year-old female with symbrachydactyly of the right hand and foot. No other abnormalities were identified. The diagnosis of this congenital anomaly is discussed and the literature reviewed.
