ABSTRACT

Polydactyly is one of the most common anomalies of hand and/or foot. Postnatal torsion of pedunculated polydactyly is a well known complication but intranatal torsion has been infrequently described in published literature. Here, we describe a case of pedunculated ulnar polydactyly which was gangrenous at birth due to intranatal torsion. Controversies surrounding the management of narrow pedicled pedunculated polydactyly by traditional method of suture ligation at base are also discussed.
