title: Endoscopic release of intraoral synechiae in popliteal pterygium syndrome.
abstract: An infant with typical popliteal pterygium syndrome had intraoral fibrous bands binding the maxillary and mandibular alveolar ridges. This resulted in dramatically restricted mouth opening. These bands were divided surgically with endoscopic assistance.
