| A disorder belonging to the group of oromandibular-limb hypogenesis syndromes with the presence of an intraoral band of variable thickness attaching the tongue to the hard palate or maxillary alveolar ridge. The syndrome is very rare with less than 30 cases reported in the literature so far. Associated anomalies include cleft palate (in which case the tongue may be attached to the nasal septum), mandibular hypoplasia, upper-lip hypoplasia, hypodontia and variable limb anomalies (oligodactyly, syndactyly and polydactyly as well as more severe limb malformations). The syndrome appears to be sporadic. |
