Most of them appear as unilateral, incomplete fusion. Bony fusion (syngnathia) without any other systemic disease or congenital abnormality is extremely uncommon. Oro-mandibular limb hypogenesis syndrome, which includes syngnathia, is an extremely rare disorder characterized by variable degrees of congenital abnormalities involving the tongue, jaw, and limbs.</p> ER -
