Fraser syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive multi-system disorder with a reported incidence of 0.043 per 10,000 live born infants and 1.1 in 10,000 stillbirths. The condition is characterized by cryptophthalmos, cutaneous syndactyly, laryngeal and genitourinary malformations, craniofacial dysmorphism, orofacial clefting, musculoskeletal anomalies and mental retardation. The diagnosis can be made on prenatal scans, post natal clinical examination or on autopsy findings. We report a case of an infant who presented with multiple congenital abnormalities and clinical and radiological features suggestive of Fraser syndrome.
