Van der Woude syndrome

Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) is a rare congenital genetic dysmorphic syndrome characterized by paramedian lower-lip fistulae, cleft lip with or without cleft palate, or isolated cleft palate.

Syndactyly

Webbing or fusion of the fingers or toes, involving soft parts only or including bone structure. Bony fusions are referred to as \"bony\" syndactyly if the fusion occurs in a radio-ulnar axis. Fusions of bones of the fingers or toes in a proximo-distal axis are referred to as \"symphalangism\".
