It is characterised by severe mental retardation, microcephaly, failure to thrive, ear anomalies, pre-auricular tags or sinus, cleft palate or high arch palate, micrognathia, renal anomalies, congenital cardiac defects and genital abnormalities in males . In 99 percent of the cases, one of the parents is a balanced carrier of a translocation between chromosome 11 and chromosome 22. We report the first known case, a male neonate, of supernumerary derivative (22) syndrome . He had a remarkable facial appearance which included, Microcephaly, prominent forehead with dilated veins, broad nasal bridge, prominent philtrum, unilateral right sided microtia and large pre-auricular skin tags and pit. He was also having a small penis (1.4 cm), but both testes were completely descended. Oral findings observed were high arched palate and micrognathia.
