planáris

Planáris, also known as planar or planarism, is a condition characterized by the presence of a flat, smooth surface on the skin, typically found on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet. This condition is often associated with certain genetic disorders, including Noonan syndrome, Costello syndrome, and cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome. Planáris is not a disease in itself but rather a physical feature that can be indicative of an underlying genetic condition.

The exact cause of planáris is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to abnormal development of the skin during fetal growth. The condition is usually diagnosed during infancy or early childhood, and it can vary in appearance from a small, flat area to a larger, more pronounced surface. In some cases, planáris may be accompanied by other physical features, such as a webbed neck, short stature, or heart defects.

There is currently no cure for planáris, but treatment options are available to manage associated symptoms and improve the appearance of the affected area. These may include topical creams or ointments to moisturize the skin, as well as surgical procedures to correct any associated deformities. Regular monitoring and follow-up care are essential for managing any underlying genetic conditions associated with planáris.
