Craniorhiny

Clinical Features

Mindikoglu et al. (1991) published pictures of an extraordinary combination of craniosynostosis and unusual nasal abnormalities. The skull shape was oxycephalic with recessed forehead and lack of nasofrontal angle. The nasal changes consisted of wide nose, anteverted nostrils, and nasal hirsutism. Bilaterally symmetrical spherical cyst-like formations with fistulas were present just below the nose. The mother and 3 of 4 sibs were affected. Details of this Turkish family were published by Mindikoglu et al. (1991).
