Congenital accessory palpebral aperture – An addition to the spectrum of Delleman syndrome

Abstract

Delleman syndrome (oculocerebrocutaneous syndrome, MIM 164180) is characterized by orbital cysts, microphthalmia/anophthalmia, focal skin defects, skin appendages and multiple cerebral malformations. We herein describe a case of an 8-month-old male child with features suggestive of Delleman syndrome along with a rare congenital lid anomaly – an accessory palpebral aperture, not reported so far to the best of our knowledge.
