Abstract

Three cases of epignathus teratoma associated with other midline anomalies are reported. The first case involved Pierre Robin sequence and a bifid tongue. The second case was characterized by two teratomas, a meningoencephalocele, and a cleft lip and nose. The third case had Pierre Robin sequence associated with duplication of the pituitary gland and hypoplasia of the corpus callosum.
