Rhiny

Mindikoglu et al. (1991) observed father and son with characteristic abnormality of the midface. The nose was extremely short and upturned with small nares facing directly anteriorly. The philtrum was long and thin. The lips were narrow and downturned at their outer margins. No other abnormalities were observed except for an inguinal hernia in the son. Mindikoglu et al. (1990) suggested the term craniorhiny for the syndrome that combines craniosynostosis with unusual nasal abnormalities (123050) and rhiny for this condition.
