Abstract

Aglossia is a rare anomaly often accompanied with several congenital defects including varying degrees of limb deficiency, micrognathia and oral synechiae. We report on a girl with aglossia and persistent anterior buccopharyngeal membrane. Other anomalies observed on the patient were oesophageal atresia, hypoplastic epiglottis, ptosis of the left eyelid, and conductive deafness which is probably an additional symptom of this syndrome group.
