Abstract

Abstract: Frontonasal dysplasia (FND) is a very rare congenital abnormality in which the mid face does not develop normally. It

presented with classical features of FND in Maiduguri, Nigeria. Management difficulty in resource limited setting is highlighted.

Keywords: Dysmorphism, Frontonasal dysplasia, Neonate.
