Objectives:
To describe a rare case of bilateral mirror feet with varus deformity and review of literature.
Methods:
AP and oblique radiographs of both feet were taken.
Results:
On radiographs, right foot showed eight toes and seven metatarsals while left foot showed eight toes and seven metatarsals, the three extra toes were present preaxially (on hallux side) in both feet, showing characteristics of postaxial toes termed as "mirror foot". Varus deformity was noted at the subtalar joint, otherwise tarsal bones appeared normal. No any syndromatic association was present.
Conclusion:
Mirror foot is a very rare congenital anomaly, we put forward this case for its rarity and unusual late presentation at the age of 22.
