Abstract

Cerebrocostomandibular syndrome (CCMS), a rare congenital syndrome, consists of severe micrognathia, often with the Pierre Robin anomaly, posterior rib-gap defects, and developmental delay (Smith et al. 1966). It is also known as “rib-gap syndrome,” “rib-gap defect with micrognathia syndrome,” and “Smith-Theiler-Schachenmann syndrome.”
