Manifestation/ Concern	Treatment	Considerations/Other
Polydactyly	Surgical repair	Undertaken on an elective basis Preaxial polydactyly of the hands is considered higher priority for surgical correction than postaxial polydactyly of the hand or any type of polydactyly of the foot due to importance of early & proper development of prehensile grasp. As for any malformation of the feet, surgical correction must be carefully considered; cosmetic benefits & easier fitting of shoes can be outweighed by potential orthopedic complication.
Cutaneous syndactyly	Surgical repair	Undertaken if syndactyly is more than minimal
Seizures	ASM therapy as needed
