title: Pai syndrome (median cleft palate, cutaneous nasal polyp, and midline lipoma of the corpus callosum): a case report and literature review.
abstract: In this article, we describe a patient with Pai syndrome. This infant was born with an unusual median cleft of the upper lip, a pedunculated cutaneous mass that protruded from the right nostril, double frenulum of the upper lip, and median alveolar cleft. MRI showed a midline corpus callosal lipoma. Mental development was normal and chromosomal analysis revealed a normal male 46, XY karyotype.
