ABOUT THE USE OF THE FAMOUS 'SINGLE PALMAR CREASE' AS A NOTORIOUS MARKER IN HAND DIAGNOSTICS







Synonyms for the simian line!

In time various names are being used to describe the simian line:

  • 'simian crease' (most often)
  • 'simian fold'
  • 'four finger line' [fourfingerline]
  • 'ape line' (less often)

    Because of the negative connotation of the word 'simian' (which refers to apes and monkeys), some people have argued that the other synonyms are preferable:

  • 'single palmar transverse crease'
  • 'single palmar crease'
  • 'single transverse crease'
  • 'transverse palmar crease'
  • 'four finger crease'
  • 'horizontal palmar crease'
  • 'single palmar flexion crease'     		The simian line in the primate hand.
    The presence of multiple long horizontal creases - which 'transverse' the full palm - is a basic characteristic in the hands of primates (apes and monkeys).

    International synonyms for the simian line:

    • France flag. French: 'pli simien', 'pli transverse', 'pli palmaire transverse' (PPT)
    • Germany flag. German: 'Vierfingerfurche', 'Affenfurche', 'Sperlinie'
    • Italy flag. Italian: 'linea simiana'
    • Japan flag. Japanese: 'masukake'
    • Portugal flag. Portuguese: 'pregas palmar transversal ϊnica'
    • Spain flag. Spanish: 'pliegue simiesco'
