Abstract
Mirror foot, a form of polydactyly, is a rare congenital anomaly. In this form of congenital anomaly, there are
several additional digits with accessory tarsal bones. It may be associated with fibular dimelia, tibial aplasia and
tibial dysplasia. Cause of such anomaly is not known. On experimental basis it appears to involve ectopic SHH
(Sonic hedgehog) signaling in the limb bud mesenchyme.
