Patients’ data were recorded in special formula in addition to oral and dentaldeformities.Seven patients were males one female their age ranged from 10 to 23 years with normal mental status. All patients showed downward slating palpebral fissures, malar hypoplasia .Four patients showed lower eyelid coloboma while six patients (75%) have partial absence of the eyelashes. Oral findings were high arched palate in all cases, malocclusion in 6 cases (75%) and macrostomisa in 4 cases (50%) while multiple impactions of the teeth were detected in four patients.

Dental and oral anomalies associated with this syndrome should be considered in the treatment plan as soon as possible this will improve the quality of the life of the patients and decrease syndrome complications
