We report on a newborn with ankyloglossia inferior, micrognathia, and bilateral apodia. The tongue was small and adherent to the floor of the mouth. It has been proposed that oromandibular-limb hypogenesis sequences are due to an interruption of embrionic blood supply. Interruption or reduction of uterine artery blood flow appear to be pharmacologically or physically induced. In our case, there was no prenatal history of chorionic villus sampling, of drug or teratogens exposure, and of intrauterine infections.
