And refers to the newborn after birth. For this congenital malformation, it has brought pain to both parents and children. It is necessary to know the cause of syndactyly in time, analyze the symptom types of syndactyly in infants, communicate effectively with doctors, and be admitted to hospital in time for scientific treatment.

Etiology of syndactyly in neonates

Syndactyly of newborn belongs to congenital malformation, and its main reason comes from heredity, so parents need to take preventive measures.

At present, it is considered that polydactyly and syndactyly are mainly genetic diseases, which belong to incomplete autosomal dominant genetic diseases. The family genetic history of one or both spouses is the strongest risk factor for the congenital malformation of polydactyly or syndactyly in offspring. If one or both spouses have a family history of polydactyly, the incidence of offspring caused by genetic factors accounts for 90. 18% of the total incidence. In recent years, four polydactyly gene loci have been located through molecular biology research.

Environmental factors are also related to polydactyly and syndactyly. A considerable number of polydactyly and syndactyly are caused by environmental factors, and this part of polydactyly and syndactyly is the focus of population prevention. Smoking during pregnancy, exposure to agricultural chemicals during pregnancy and occupational exposure to harmful substances before pregnancy increase the risk of fetal polydactyly, and engaging in chemical occupational work during pregnancy is the risk factor of fetal polydactyly.

Symptoms of syndactyly in newborns

The symptoms of neonatal syndactyly are very complicated, and the specific solutions are different when correcting different symptoms.

Syndactyly in newborns occurs between the middle finger and the fourth finger, and 2~5 fingers are also connected together. It is rare that the thumb and the second finger merge. Bilateral syndactyly accounts for 1/2. The treatment is mainly surgery. The timing of treatment depends on the overall health of the child, the safety of anesthesia and the requirements of parents. Generally speaking, if circumstances permit, the operation should be carried out within 6 months. It can also be postponed, but the operation should be within 2 years as far as possible.

What about neonatal syndactyly?

At present, neonatal syndactyly is not without coping methods, and it can be improved by surgical correction.

The treatment of neonatal syndactyly is mainly surgery. For the sake of anesthesia safety, it is recommended to do surgery after 6 months, or wait until a little older, but not too late, so as not to affect development and function. After 6 months or 3 years old, I will go to the children's hospital for treatment. This synonymy is the most complicated, because it is very difficult to repair and rebuild the function. The doctor had better decide the operation time and plan after the examination. Generally speaking, there will be some complications.
