An orofaciodigital syndromes (OFDS) is a rare genetic disorder with diverse collection of abnormalities, mainly affecting the face, oral cavity and digits. Orofacial digital syndrome type II, also called the “Mohr syndrome” is a very rare subtype of OFDS. We report a case of 1-year-old male child presented to Paediatric outpatient department with complaints of syndactyly along with polydactyly associated with characteristic features of OFDS type II. Considering the overlapping clinical features, it is important to establish a correct diagnosis by distinguishing appropriate features.
