Brachymetatarsia as an Early Clue to Turner Syndrome

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Congenital anomalies of the extremities, particularly bilateral toe or finger malformations, may provide an early and valuable clue to an underlying genetic disorder and should prompt further diagnostic evaluation. Brachymetatarsia is a rare associated finding that may raise suspicion for Turner syndrome, particularly when diagnosis is delayed despite visible congenital anomalies.
