Frontonasal Dysplasia also known as median cleft face syndrome, this condition results in a flat, wide nose and wide-set eyes. There is a groove down the middle of the face, and in some cases, the tip of the nose is missing. A gap with extra folds of skin covering it may appear on the front of the head.

Treatment of this disorder depends on the severity of the child’s physical characteristics. Surgery may correct the divided nose, cleft lip, and other facial deformities. In some cases, more surgery may be needed as the child gets older. A team approach for infants and children with this disorder may help, including special social, educational, and medical services.
