ABOUT THE USE OF THE FAMOUS 'SINGLE PALMAR CREASE' AS A NOTORIOUS MARKER IN HAND DIAGNOSTICS
|
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 presence of multiple long horizontal creases - which 'transverse' the full palm - is a basic characteristic in the hands of primates (apes and monkeys). |
