TL;DR: Three cases of epignathus teratoma associated with other midline anomalies are reported and one case involved Pierre Robin sequence and a bifid tongue.
Abstract: Three cases of epignathus teratoma associated with other midline anomalies are reported. The first case involved Pierre Robin sequence and a bifid tongue. The second case was characterized by two teratomas, a meningoencephalocele, and a cleft lip and nose. The third case had Pierre Robin sequence associated with duplication of the pituitary gland and hypoplasia of the corpus callosum.

TL;DR: It is suggested that some infants surviving surgery for large epignathi may have relatively symptomless absent corpus callosum or double pituitary.
Abstract: Two infants from unrelated families died on the 1st day of life with epignathus, duplication of the entire pituitary, infundibulum and sella, and widening or separation of midline structures of the head including absent corpus callosum. We suggest that some infants surviving surgery for large epignathi may have relatively symptomless absent corpus callosum or double pituitary.
