✦ Synopsis


Nager acrofacial dysostosis is a rare congenital syndrome characterized by malformations of the mandibulofacial structures and pre axial upper limbs. Patients classically present with malar hypoplasia, micro/retrognathia, anti mongoloid slanting, cleft deformities, ear anomalies, and hypoplastic thumbs. Trismus and glossoptosis from mandibular abnormalities predispose infants to life threatening respiratory distress after birth. A case of a Nager Syndrome mother delivering a similarly afflicted fetus is presented, with approaches to maintaining both tenuous airways described. Nager Syndrome pts warrant meticulous airway management upon delivery.
