---|
Otocephaly is a type of cephalic disorder. This is a lethal condition in which the primary feature is agnathia - a developmental anomaly characterized by total or virtual absence of the lower jaw. The condition is considered lethal because of a poorly functioning airway. In otocephaly, agnathia may occur alone or together with holoprosencephaly.
