الوصف: Congenital brachymetatarsia is a rare skeletal anomaly which is characterized by the abnormal length reduction of one or more metatarsal bones. It occurs as the result of the early closure of the growth plate. While the majority of the reported cases are idiopathic, it can also be seen in association with various genetic conditions or syndromes. Brachymetatarsia most commonly involves the fourth metatarsal followed by the first metatarsal. This rare disorder is mostly bilateral and reported almost exclusively in females. Herein, we present a rare case of congenital unilateral brachymetatarsia which was incidentally detected in a young adult male. Keywords: Brachymetatarsia, Short toe, Congenital, Deformity
