Oropharyngeal teratoma may occur by itself or together with other craniofacial malformations, most commonly cleft palate. Oropharyngeal teratoma may be also seen in association with frontonasal dysplasia and/or various degrees of craniofacial duplication. The nosology of these sporadic disorders is poorly defined. We report on a 22-week fetus with a protruding nasopharyngeal teratoma, partial oral duplication, anencephaly, multiple costo-vertebral segmentation defects, and cervical diplomyelia. A review of the literature identified 48 patients published from 1931 to 2013 with co-existing clefting and duplication anomalies of the cephalic pole. Thoracic and abdominal midline anomalies were reported 13 times. The term "craniofacial teratoma syndrome" is introduced to define this phenotype as a recognizable developmental field defect of the cephalic pole. Developmental pathogenesis is discussed with a focus on pleiotropy and stereotaxis. The observation of midline findings suggestive of holoprosencephaly in a few previously reported cases suggests a role for the sonic hedgehog signaling pathway in this malformation pattern.
