title: A newly recognized syndrome with double upper and lower lip, hypertelorism, eyelid ptosis, blepharophimosis, and third finger clinodactyly.
abstract: Congenital double lip is an uncommon developmental abnormality usually affecting the upper lip. We report a 21-year-old male with double upper and lower lip, hypertelorism, unilateral ptosis, blepharophimosis, and broad nose with broad nasal tip, highly arched palate, and bilateral third finger clinodactyly. The disorder differs from Ascher syndrome and appears to represent a newly recognized syndrome.
