In the present work is described a female with an incomplete oral duplication. The occurrence of a supernumerary mouth is rare. Moreover, these cases present other anomalies that make each one relatively unique. In this context, in fact, the patient presented an association of oral manifestation and ocular anomalies. From a pathogenetic point of view, maxillary duplication probably arises from a partial doubling of growth centers around the stomodeal plate.
