Özet
Hand oligodactyly refers to a developmental defect which results in the presence of less than 5 digits on a hand. It presents as a component of 4 main categories of congenital upper limb malformations. Herein, we present a 50-year-old man with an unusual form of hand oligodactyly which is characterized by atypical cleft hand accompanied by complex syndactyly between the thumb and the index finger. Accurate characterization of hand oligodacticity can sometimes be challenging due to unusual phenotypic appearances accompanying the abnormality. Radiological evaluation is of great importance for correct identification and classification of such complex hand anomalies, and the treatment should be highly individualized in these patients.
