Abstract:We describe a Libyan boy with an unusual phenotype of multiple congenital anomalies, including triophthalmia, dolichocephaly, porencephaly, cleft lip/palate, facial asymmetry, micrognathia, and VSD. The reported phenotype is likely to represent a new entity of nonchromosomal syndromic triophthalmia. Other possibilities are discussed.
We find the denomination, triophthalmia insufficient to differentiate between the two types and suggest a differentiation between unilateral synophthalmia and ipsilateral ocular duplication.
