Syndactyly type II is a common anomaly that is inherited as autosomal dominant. This anomaly can either seen together other anomalies or alone. We observed this anomaly in three patients whom hospitalized due to hypertension. This result led us to desing this study in a large group of patients to determine whether or not any relationship between these disorders. We didn’t found any report in the medical literature which is determining the relationship between hypertension and syndactyly type II.
We found significantly higher both systolic and diastolic blood pressures in adults males with syndactyly, than the age and sex match controls. Blood pressures were also higher in females, but results were not statistically significant. Hypertension did not determined in childhood group.
