| A rare dysostosis syndrome with characteristics of vertical median craniofacial clefting of fronto-naso-maxillary structures associated with auriculo-mandibular malformations. The syndrome manifests with highly variable craniofacial features which include hypertelorism, eyelid coloboma, orbital dystopia, epibulbar dermoid, nasal anomalies (for example wide nasal bridge, bifid nose, widely separated, slit-like nares, nasal bone dysplasia), auricular and middle ear dysplasia (microtia, aural stenosis, pre-auricular skin tags/pits), cleft lip/palate, mandibular/maxillary hypoplasia and facial asymmetry. Intracranial abnormalities and extra-craniofacial features are frequently associated. |
