Cerebro‐Costo‐Mandibular Syndrome

ABSTRACTCerebro‐costo‐mandibular syndrome (CCM) is a very rare entity with oro‐facial features closely resembling Pierre‐Robin anomaly (1,2). We describe a patient with typical features: severe micro‐gnathia, glossoptosis, central cleft soft palate and multiple posterior rib‐gap defects Seen on chest radiograph. Respiratory distress which was evident soon after birth was relieved by an oro‐pharyngeal airway. He suffered from a cardio‐respiratory arrest and succumbed, presumably secondary to aspiration of milk feeds, before a tracheostomy cwld be performed.
