Multiple congenital defects: report of a case.
An unusual case history is presented in which a 4-year-old Oriental boy, born with multiple congenital defects primarily affecting anatomic structures in the midline, was treated by an oral surgeon, restorative dentist, and others. The defects included cleft palate, two complete and separate tongues, missing and decayed teeth, and an aortic abnormality. Treatment procedures included restoring the teeth, uniting the two tongues, lip repair, and fabrication of an obturator to close the palatal defect.
