Abstract
Three children with frontonasal dysplasia associated with tetralogy of Fallot are reported. All cases had true hypertelorism and a median nasal groove with absence of the nasal tip. There was no mental deficiency. The facial anomaly is a sporadic, non-genetic interference of the normal development of the face. This is the first report of frontonasal dysplasia associated with a cardiac defect. Multifactorial inheritance of this syndrome is proposed.
