Abstract
Tessier no 3 cleft, bony syngnathia, and maxillary duplication are rare as independent anomalies and have never been reported together in a single case. Here we present a patient with congenital bony syngnathia, maxillary duplication, and a Tessier no. 3 nasal cleft. Other abnormalities included situs inversus, dextrocardia, coarctation of the aorta, left choanal stenosis, left coloboma, and hypertelorbitism. Given the unique presentation, we present our early surgical management to this complex problem.
