Arachnodactyly ("spider fingers") or achromachia,
is a condition in which the fingers are abnormally long and slender in
comparison to the palm of the hand. It can be present at birth or
develop in later life. In some cases, all or a few fingers may be bent
backwards by 180 degreesThis feature can occur on its own, with no
underlying health problems. However, it can also be associated with
certain medical conditions. Examples include Marfan syndrome, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome,Loeys–Dietz syndrome and homocystinuria.
