AB Key  PointsSyndactyly  refers  to  apparent  fusion  of  digits,  either  osseous  or  cutaneous.Prenatal  ultrasound  examination  reveals  an  inability  to  distinguish  separate  digits  of  fingers  or  toes  or  to  demonstrate  independent  movement  of  fingers.May  be  isolated  or  syndromic.Many  syndromes  are  associated  with  craniosynostosis.Fetuses  with  syndactyly  should  undergo  detailed  fetal  sonographic  examination  to  look  for  associated  anomalies.Review  results  ofestriol  levels  in  maternal  serum  screen,  as  low  levels  are  present  in  triploidy  and  Smith–Lemli–Opitz  syndrome.Consider  karyotype  to  rule  out  triploidy.  Obtain  complete  family  history.  Review  results  of  estriol  levels  in  maternal  serum  screen.A  complete  physical  examination  of  infant  at  birth  is  essential.
