Syndactyly

Most people call it webbed toes, but this rare condition is also known by an appropriate medical term: syndactyly. It occurs while babies are still in their mother’s womb because the child’s toes or fingers failed to separate. Often associated with toes, syndactyly is more common as a condition that affects one’s fingers.

Syndactyly doesn’t cause any harm and can easily be solved. However, it can also be related to serious genetic conditions such as Down syndrome. It’s also associated with a rare autosomal recessive congenital disorder known as Sakati syndrome.
