Abstract

We report the case of an 8-year-old boy who presented with right cleft lip and palate, left Tessier number 3 and 11 clefts, and limb abnormalities because of amniotic band syndrome. He was found to have an atypical iris and optic disk nasal defect and a right-sided ptosis, which have not been previously reported with amniotic band syndrome.
