Prenatal identification of hand and foot anomalies is important in view of their association with chromosomal abnormalities and genetic syndromes. In this report we describe the prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis of a hallux duplication in a second-trimester detailed scan. To our knowledge, this report documents the first case of this rare form of preaxial polydactyly of the foot to be detected prenatally.
