A new form of mandibulofacial dysostosis with macroblepharon and macrostomia

Clin Dysmorphol. 1997 Jan;6(1):21-4.

Abstract

We report on a girl aged 7 years with normal mental development but an unusual form of mandibulofacial dysostosis. The hallmarks of the syndrome are a round, flat face, severe hypertelorism, downslanting palpebral fissures extending to the temples, a broad nasal base, anteverted nares, small, posteriorly rotated ears, a long, smooth philtrum, a thin upper lip, striking macrostomia, retrognathism with reduced height of the mandible, and irregularly placed teeth, some to them missing.
