📋Overview
Arachnodactyly is a descriptive term meaning abnormally long and slender fingers and toes, resembling spider legs. It is not a standalone diagnosis but a physical feature seen in several genetic connective tissue disorders, most notably Marfan syndrome and homocystinuria. Modern clinical practice focuses on identifying the underlying condition causing arachnodactyly rather than the feature alone.
