Similarities between a Conjoined Nail and the Palmar Nail Syndrome

M. M. AL-QATTAN
A. AL-RABEEAH

From the King Fahad National Guard Hospital and King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Correspondence: M. M. Al-Qattan FRCSC, PO Box 18097, Riyadh 11415, Saudi Arabia.

The congenital palmar nail syndrome consists of a triad of palmar nail, absent finger flexion and abnormalities of the distal phalanx. There are two main theories about the pathogenesis of this syndrome: the ancestral reversion theory and the duplication theory. In this paper, similarities between a conjoined nail in conjoined twins and the palmar nail syndrome are described to support the duplication theory.
