We report digitotalar dysmorphism in a grandfather, father, and a daughter. All the affected members had clasped thumbs. The father had a short stature, large zygomatic arch and a flat mandibular condyle. The newly recognized findings found in the affected girl were large maxillary deciduous central incisors, a short proximal phalanx of the second finger, and a large subcutaneous hemangioma of the back. Her paternal grandfather had only congenital clasped thumbs. Congenital clasped thumb is a very heterogeneous anomaly and related to many syndromes. The findings in the reported family which are consistent with digitotalar dysmorphism, include congenital clasped thumbs, ulnar deviation of fingers, and a congenital vertical tali. © 2001 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
