Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Developmental Biology
  • Pediatric Orthopedics

Background:

  • Congenital deformities affect about 1% of live births, with foot deformities being common.
  • The precise incidence of congenital foot deformities remains undetermined.
  • Circumferential nail of the toe is an exceptionally rare congenital anomaly.

Observation:

  • Literature review identified only two prior cases of circumferential toenails.
  • Previous cases involved siblings with concurrent circumferential fingernail deformities.
  • This report presents a case of circumferential toenails occurring in isolation.

Findings:

  • The described case involves circumferential toenails as the sole congenital deformity.
  • Absence of associated hand or other congenital anomalies differentiates this case.

Related Experiment Videos

  • This presentation expands the known spectrum of isolated congenital nail deformities.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the variability in presentation of rare congenital foot deformities.
    • Suggests that circumferential toenails can occur independently of other limb anomalies.
    • Contributes to the clinical understanding and documentation of rare pediatric conditions.
