Congenital diplopodia PEDIATRIC RADIOLOGY Brower, J. S., Wootton-Gorges, S. L., Costouros, J. G., Boakes, J., Greenspan, A. 2003; 33 (11): 797-799

Abstract

Diplopodia, or duplicated foot, is a rare congenital anomaly. It differs from polydactyly in that supernumerary metatarsal and tarsal bones are present as well as extra digits. Only a few cases of this anomaly have been reported in the literature to date. We present a newborn male without intrauterine teratogen exposure who was born with a duplicate foot of the left lower extremity and imperforate anus.
