Abstract:
Absent terminal phalanges are often associated with corresponding omission of the associated nail. Lack of phalanges may arise in isolation or may be associated with other skeletal or dental abnormalities. We report two cases of corn associated with congenital aphalangia and anonychia in a 3-year-old child and a 22-year-old woman.
