I posted this on the special needs forum but have had no answer. Thought I'd see if any of you have ever seen this.

I have a fs who has an unusual formation in the lines on the balls of his feet. Generally when you look at someones feet you see 2 main lines, one going up towards the toes and the other going across the foot. My fs has 5 lines that are in a starburst pattern, going out from the point where the 2 lines usually meet.

There are a lot of other things going on too, but due to confidentiallity I will not go into them here. I will say that he is very delayed (tested out at 8 weeks at the most developmentally and is actually 19 weeks old). Just wondering if anyone has ever seen this unusual pattern before, and if so was it connected to any syndrome?

Thanks for your help.

Blessings

Does this look anything like what you mean? I'd be glad to look through some of my medical (transcription) books, but it would help if you could give a little more info. You won't be violating any HIPAA laws by discussing the actual condition/symptoms as long as you don't identify him or his family by name, etc.

Thanks for the reply. This is somewhat similar, but not quite it.

I did take some digital pics of the feet, but alas do not know how to attach them to my post. If you could tell me how I will pm you with pics and additional info.

Thanks
