Stickler syndrome type 3 is a rare, genetic, multiple congenital anomalies/dysmorphic syndrome characterized by craniofacial dysmorphism (midface hypoplasia, depressed nasal bridge, small nose with upturned tip, cleft palate, Pierre Robin sequence), bilateral, pronounced sensorineural hearing loss, and skeletal/joint anomalies (including spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, arthralgia/arthropathy), in the absence of ocular abnormalities.

Distance between nasal base and midline upper lip vermilion border more than 2 SD above the mean. Alternatively, an apparently increased distance between nasal base and midline upper lip vermilion border.
