Sandal Gap Toe. One of the “soft markers” that Avery has.
What is a sandal gap toe? It is a dislocation of the big toe, therefore creating a large distance between the 1st and 2nd toes. The space also dips lower into the foot than 'usual'. It is often referred to as a "soft marker" on the ultrasound. It did not show up on Avery’s ultrasound. It can also occur in the general population too. It is suppose to be a common trait among people with Down syndrome but really only 45% of individuals with Down syndrome have a sandal gap.
We happen to love it…its pretty cute….and see how her next toe in line curves out a little too…Anyways I have always loved to play with Avery’s feet when she was little and I would rub my fingers in between that sandal gap toe of hers.
Does your child who happens to have that extra special gene have a sandal gap toe???
