Bilateral Cleft Lip: A Potential Variant Form of Orofaciodigital Syndrome Type II?

The orofaciodigital syndrome (OFDS) represents a complicated group of disorders characterized by oral anomalies, facial dysmorphism, and digital deformities, in which at least 13 different types have been described. Autosomal-recessive OFDS-II was first reorted by Mohr and was characterized by hypertelorism, a median cleft of the upper lip, a highly arched or cleft palate, cleft tongue, tongue nodules, and polysyndactyly of the hands and feet. This report describes a case of OFDS-II. To the authors’ knowledge, no case of bilateral cleft lip in OFDS-II has been reported previously.
