ABSTRACT
Congenital syngnathia is a rarely reported malformation when there is a fusion between the maxilla and the mandible. It is necessary to modify it in childhood because congenital syngnathia causes incongruity in pronunciation, diet, and esthetics during the growth process. In this case report, 1 case of syngnathia, a rare craniofacial anomaly, is presented with a review of reports. Prompt diagnosis and surgery were performed right after birth for the present case. A partial limitation point was resolved for further growth. Herein, the authors present the case of a female infant (7 d after birth) diagnosed with congenital syngnathia and treated by early surgical intervention.
