Computed tomographic reconstruction of a fetus with the dysgnathia complex (agnathia-otocephaly)

Prenat Diagn. 2007 Feb;27(2):130-2. doi: 10.1002/pd.1626.

Abstract

The dysgnathia complex (agnathia-otocephaly) (AO) is a lethal malformation that consists of congenital absence of the lower jaw with union or close approximation of the lower ears on the front of the neck, microstomia, and hypoglossia. We present a novel case of agnathia-otocephaly with associated organomegaly and the use of postmortem 3-D computed tomographic rendering.
