Mégarbané (2001) reported two sisters born to a possibly consanguineous healthy couple. Both sisters presented with slanting palpebral fissures, hypertelorism, ptosis, a wide nasal bridge, a broad bifid nasal tip, a high-arched palate, minor anomalies of the extremities, and an abnormal EEG without seizures. Mégarbané (2001) surmised that this represented a novel MCA/MR syndrome.
