Abstract
Agnathia is a rare malformation derived from the first brachial arch malformation. Most reported cases of agnathia have been associated with other lethal anomalies. However, the infant reported here did not have any specific anomaly other than agnathia and aglossia. We present a case of isolated agnathia which was diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography with a brief review of literatures.
