RESUMO
Syngnathia is a congenital fusion of the upper and lower jaws. Its occurrence poses a significant challenge to feeding and its management is challenging to both the surgeon and the anaesthetist. Reports in the literature are mainly clinical reports or case series. To the knowledge of the authors and from the available literature, this is only the fourth report from Nigeria. The presentation and successful management of a Nigerian female neonate with congenital syngnathia is described and reviewed with literature.
