title: Mohr-Claussen syndrome or oro-facial-digital syndrome (OFDS) type-II.
abstract: The Mohr-Claussen syndrome or oro-facial-digital syndrome type II (OFD-II)] is characterised by tongue lobulation, midline cleft lip, high arched or cleft palate, broad nasal root with wide bifid nasal tip, hypertelorism, micrognathia, brachydactyly, syndactyly and polydactyly, bilateral reduplicated hallux, conductive hearing loss and normal intelligence. In view of the different modes of inheritance and the different prognoses of the two oro-facio-digital syndromes, type 1 and type 2, it is important to establish a correct diagnosis in these patients. A neonate with features of oro-facio-digital syndrome, type-II is being reported and the distinguishing clinicoradiological features with type-I are compared.
