Abstract
We report on a child with frontonasal malformation (FNM) and cloacal e xstrophy, a combination of findings that have not been reported previo usly. In FNM and cloacal exstrophy, associated malformations are rare, FNM and cloacal exstrophy both represent abnormalities of the develop ment of the midline field; this combination of anomalies in this patie nt suggests an impairment of caudal and cranial midline development du ring blastogenesis.
