Question
Why is simian crease (single crease) seen in down syndrome?
Answer
Sometimes, The Heart Line and Head Line fuse to form a single line. This line is called a simian line. The name "simian" was adopted many years ago and comes from the fact that some monkeys have only one crease in their palm. Many structures develop in the fetus in the first few months of gestation. Palmar creases develop early, by the 11th to 12th week of life. Abnormalities in palmar creases may indicate problems with early development.
