Abstract

Median cleft face syndrome is diagnosed by two or more of the following anomalies : ocular hypertelorism, cranium bifidum occultum, median cleft nose, median cleft lip and median cleft premaxilla. The most consistent and prominent ocular finding associated with this syndrome is hypertelorism. We experienced a case of median cleft face syndrome which had orbital hypertelorism, cranium bifidum occultum, bifid cleft nose, V-shaped frontal hairline, and polysyndactly. We report this case with a brief review of the associated literature.
