Symptoms

Each person with syndactyly tends to experience different symptoms, as webbed toes may be: Unilateral or bilateral: Impacting only one side of the body or both. Severe, moderate, or mild: With digits almost entirely fused, with digits partially fused, or with only minor webbing between digits

Causes

Webbing can also be related to genetic defects, such as Crouzon syndrome and Apert syndrome. Both syndromes are genetic disorders that can cause abnormal growth of the bones in the hands and feet. ... For some children, having webbed fingers and / or toes is only one symptom of a more complex genetic condition or syndrome
