Abstract:
Van der Woude Syndrome (VWS) is an uncommon autosomal dominant disorder that affects embryologic facial development and is characterized by two labial pits in the lower lip and is usually associated with cleft lip and cleft palate. Congenital lip pits are frequently associated with cleft lip and/or cleft palate in VWS; nevertheless, lip pits may be the only symptom in this condition. The prevalence of VWS is about 1 in 35,000 to 100,000 births and accounting for 2% of all cases with cleft lips and palates.
A 10-year-old boy presented with bilateral pits on the lower lip, one on either side of the midpoint. There was evidence of maxillary hypoplasia and he also presented with bilateral accessory auricles. Additional deformities such as cleft lip or palate were not present. The patient’s parents were eager for aesthetic correction. The lower lip pits with their tracts were excised under general anaesthesia. Wound healing and aesthetic outcome was satisfactory. Histopathological examination revealed fibrous tract, squamous epithelisation and fibres of skeletal muscle.
