It consists of popliteal petrygium, clefting of lip and palate, labial pits, syngnathia, syndactyly, oligodontia, fusion of eyelid margins and genitourinary abnormalities. Overlapping features of this syndrome with other craniofacial disorders make it a diagnostic challenge; hence awareness concerning this is vital for its prompt diagnosis and management.
