Am J Perinatol. 2008 Jan;25(1):1-4. doi: 10.1055/s-2007-995219. Epub 2007 Nov 29.

Abstract

Median clefts of the lower lip and mandible are very rare congenital anomalies. We report a female infant born to nonconsanguineous parents with unilateral microphthalmia and complete median clefting of the lower lip and mandible. This uncommon constellation of congenital malformations has never been reported in a liveborn infant.
