Faciocardiorenal syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by facial dysmorphisms, congenital heart defects, and the presence of a horseshoe kidney, alongside intellectual disabilities. ^[2] Facial dysmorphisms include protruding ears, narrowing of the mouth, cleft palate, hypertelorism, etc. ^[3] Only 4 cases from the United States, ^[4] Northern Ireland, ^[5] and Mexico ^[6] have been described in the medical literature. ^[7] Transmission is, presumably, autosomal recessive. ^[2]
