Patient's question:
A newborn baby was born and found that the second and third toes of the right foot were fused together. Is this condition caused by something the pregnant mother ate during pregnancy, or is there another reason? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
One is physical factors: for example, abdominal X-ray scans or radiographs may lead to risks such as congenital heart defects, microcephaly, and stillbirths. The other is chemical factors: for example, contact with toxic substances may cause congenital deafness and hydrocephalus in infants. Congenital deformities can be treated surgically in early stages, and after the age of eighteen, they may affect growth and development. The above is advice on the question "How is congenital syndactyly formed?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
