Agnathia is a rare developmental field complex in humans with the structural defects limited to the craniofacial region. This rare complex can occur in combination with holoprosencephaly and situs inversus. Here we report on a pair of twins. The female infant had characteristic malformation complex of agnathia, while her twin brother showed normal appearance eventually. This case is the first reported case of isolated agnathia in twins.
