Abstract:
We report digitotalar dysmorphism in a grandfather, father, and a daughter. All the affected members had clasped thumbs. The father had a short stature, large zygomatic arch and a flat mandibular condyle. The newly recognized findings found in the affected girl were large maxillary deciduous central incisors, a short proximal phalanx of the second finger, and a large subcutaneous hemangioma of the back. Her paternal grandfather had only congenital clasped thumbs. Congenital clasped thumb is a very heterogeneous anomaly and related to many syndromes. The findings in the reported family which are consistent with digitotalar dysmorphism, include congenital clasped thumbs, ulnar deviation of fingers, and a congenital vertical tali.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
