A Case Report of Fetal Split Hand Foot Malformation Syndrome: A Rare Congenital Limb Anomaly
Abstract: Fetal split hand foot malformation (SHFM) syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by developmental abnormalities of fingers and/or toes, resulting in a split appearance. SHFM is sporadic and shows mainly autosomal dominant inheritance with variable clinical presentation. Prenatal diagnosis plays a crucial role in the management and in counseling of affected families. In this case report, we present the diagnosis of SHFM through ultrasound imaging and genetic testing in a primigravida, along with post abortal fetal findings. The aim was to highlight the importance of early detection during routine ultrasound and genetic counseling for appropriate understanding and management of this rare limb condition.
