Abstract

#Syngnathia is a rare anomaly that involves fusion between the #maxilla and the #mandible. The fusion may be due to adhesions of the soft tissue between the bony fusion between maxilla and mandible. The latter is a very rare incongruity. These children present in the neonatal period with difficulties in the airway protection and feeding problems. Surgical management involves break down of the adhesions in the first few days of life. The prognosis is generally favorable. Congenital #craniofacial defect encompass 20% of congenital birth defects [1]. The defects of the fusion can present in a severity from single mucosal band (synechiae) to complete bony fusion (Syngnathia) [2]. Congenital maxilla-mandibular syngnathia, (fusion of the jaws), is a rare condition that has a broad spectrum of presentations [3].
