Dysmorphic features noted are- Infra- nuclear Bell’s Palsy [Figure 1a], Bilateral cleft lip and cleft palate [Figure 1a and b], Dysplastic ears or “Lop ear [Figure 1c and d].” These features lead us to diagnosis of coloboma, heart defects, atresia choanae (also known as choanal atresia), growth retardation, genital abnormalities, and ear abnormalities (CHARGE)[1] as there was major criteria of CHARGE ear and Cranial nerve abnormalities with minor criteria of bilateral cleft lip and palate,[2] however for confirmation of diagnosis molecular testing is required.
