Abstract
Primordial dwarfism is a rare anomaly with over 200 sub-types, which
results in a relatively small body size in all stages of life, beginning at
the intrauterine period. The life expectancy for these patients is around
30 years but very few survive their intra-uterine phase. Other features
associated with primary dwarfism reported till date includes
pigmentation of skin, cleft lip and palate, and semilobar
holoprosencephaly. We report an unusual combination of primordial
dwarfism associated with isolated cleft palate.
