Synechia is the medical name for an adhesion between body parts in any area of the body that are not normally adherent . The plural is synechiae. The word comes to us from Greek.[1]
There are some synechiae that are natural. Baby boys are born with the inner foreskin fused with the glans penis by a synechial membrane that is common to both parts.[2] The synechial membrane gradually breaks down and releases the foreskin so it can be retracted. About 50 percent of boys can retract their foreskin by age 10.[3]
