title: Maxillonasal dysplasia, mandibular retrognathia and cleft palate.
abstract: The present paper describes the craniofacial form of subjects with maxillonasal dysplasia and reports its occurrence in two siblings who also have cleft palate and mandibular retrognathia. Maxillonasal dysplasia and a cleft deformity may be illustrative of a field effect of a teratogen on developing midface components or even suggestive of a possible inherited etiology.
