Warning Signs Of Carpenter Syndrome

Abnormalities In The Fingers And Toes

A Carpenter syndrome patient may exhibit abnormalities in their fingers and toes, specifically abnormally short toes or fingers, a condition often referred to as brachydactyly. This malformation of the digits is caused by the absence of the middle phalanges or the middle bones in the fingers and toes. Some of the patient's fingers and toes may have soft tissues that partially or fully fuse the digits to each other or what is referred to as cutaneous syndactyly. In some cases, a Carpenter syndrome patient will be born with one or more extra toes or supernumerary toes. Additionally, a patient can be born with extra fingers, which is known as polydactyly. Other abnormalities in the fingers and toes that occur in Carpenter syndrome include pamprodactyly, the abnormal flexion of the fingers and clinodactyly, the abnormal deviation of the fingers.
