Case Report: Fraser Syndrome. A Stepwise Management Approach in a Very Rare Condition
Abstract
Fraser syndrome is a rare genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. This disorder's prevalence is
estimated at around 0.20 per 100,000 births in Europe, according to the European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies
(EUROCAT). Here, we reported a bilateral cryptophthalmos case in a four-month-old infant with complete unilateral cleft
lip and palate and other syndromic features. We have planned a meticulously staged operation. The first step is
cheilonasoraphy, which treats nasal deformity. The hope is to improve the patient's nutritional intake to support the next
stage of the operation. Fraser syndrome is a rare medical condition that can make diagnosing and collecting data on missed
cases difficult. It's important to consider other diagnostic criteria carefully to avoid confusing the condition with other
congenital malformations.
Staged management is a viable option for improving a patient's physiological condition to aid the healing process and
support the next stage of the operation.
