“…The treatment of mirror foot was not well described in the literature. Simple ablation of the supernumerary rays was performed in five cases [2,[4][5][6][7]. Two feet were disarticulated [3,11].…”

Purpose To describe three cases of mirror foot and to develop a new classification of the mirror feet with an emphasis on their treatment. Methods Surgical treatment was performed on three patients with mirror foot. Mirror feet in the English literature were surveyed and cases found in PubMed as well as our three cases were classified according to a new classification that was an analogy of the mirror hand classification proposed by Al-Qattan et al. (J Hand Surg Br 23:534-536, 1998). Results All three cases obtained satisfactory outcome after the treatment. In addition to these cases, 28 mirror feet were well described in the English literature, among which only seven cases have been documented for their treatment. All of the cases could be assigned to one of the categories of the proposed classification. Conclusion Mirror foot is a very rare congenital deformity of the foot. We successfully treated three novel cases of mirror feet. A classification of the mirror feet proposed in this article was useful in order to understand its nature and obtain a guideline for its treatment.

“…10 Eight-toed polydactyly is extremely rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. 1,3,6 It may occur as an isolated deformity or as part of a syndrome of multiple congenital abnormalities. 6 Our case had 8 toes and 7 metatarsals, 1 of which was Y-shaped.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] It is generally classified into 3 major groups: medial ray (preaxial), central ray, and lateral ray (postaxial). 1,2,4,9,10 The central ray polydactyly has been found in 3% to 6% of all cases of pedal polydactyly.…”

“…In these cases, surgery is indicated for both esthetic and functional reasons. 1,[3][4][5][6] The purpose of central ray resections is to narrow the foot to normal width so that regular shoes may be worn. 1,3,6 We present an extremely rare case who had 8 toes and a triplication, one of which was Y-shaped of the second metatarsal.…”

Central-type, 8-toed polydactyly is a distinctly rare congenital foot anomaly. In this report, a new subtype of the metatarsal type of the central ray polydactyly of the foot is presented. This includes a triplication, one of which is Y-shaped of the second metatarsal and 8 toes. In the literature, polydactyly of the foot has been usually operated during childhood after walking age. We performed the surgery at 6 months of age. After ray amputation of the extra toes, we reapproximated the muscle pieces that remained on the original first and second metatarsals and repaired the transverse metatarsal ligament. Despite the early surgery, we did not encounter any problems intraoperatively and postoperatively.

We report on a newborn infant with characteristics of Laurin-Sandrow syndrome (LSS). She had hypertelorism, flat nose with grooved collumella, "V" shaped mouth with thin lips, 7 well-recognized and fused digits and 1 additional postaxial bilateral appendix on each hand. The right and left feet had 12 and 11 toes, respectively, the 4 external ones were recognizable, and the rest were fused in a uniform mass but with independent nails. There was also a 2.3 cm-long digitiform appendix in the internal part of both feet. Radiographs showed seven metacarpals and seven metatarsals with similar morphology; both hands lacking thumbs. The four lateral-most toes had regular shaped phalanges and the rest were irregular. The left digitiform appendix had three bones and the right only two. Tibiae were shorter than fibulae. Central Nervous System examination showed an abnormally shaped olivary nucleus, cerebellar cortical heterotopias, gray matter ectopias in both spinal cord and hemispheric white matter, marked ventricular dilatation, and moderate diffuse white matter gliosis. Karyotype was 46XX. A complete necropsy study is presented and all reported cases are reviewed focusing on their phenotypic differences and their nosologic classification. We propose the entity LSS only in cases with symmetric tetrameric polysyndactyly, especially cup-shaped hands and mirror feet, in association with nasal anomalies.
