Abstract

Binder phenotype, or maxillonasal dysostosis, is a distinctive pattern of facial development characterized by a short nose with a flat nasal bridge, an acute nasolabial angle, a short columella, a convex upper lip, and class III malocclusion. We report 3 cases of prenatally diagnosed Binder phenotype associated with perinatal respiratory impairment.

Keywords: Binder phenotype; magnetic resonance imaging; obstetric ultrasound; prenatal diagnosis; respiratory distress; sonography.
