Note:—C indicates coloboma; H, congenital heart defect; A, atresia or stenosis of choanae; R, retarded growth or development and/or central nervous system anomalies; G, genital hypoplasia; E, ear anomalies and/or deafness; CL, cleft lip and/or palate; +, present; –, absent; NE, not evaluated; Ba, basion; Es, endo-sphenobasion; Xs, exo-sphenobasion.
* Mild hypoplasia, length of either Ba-Es or Ba-Xs <2 SDs with a maintained triangular shape; moderate hypoplasia, length of either Ba-Es or Ba-Xs <2 SDs without a maintained triangular shape; severe hypoplasia, length of either Ba-Es and Ba-Xs <2 SDs compared with age-matched control values without a maintained triangular shape.
