Abstract
We report a previously unrecognized association between a hypertrophic frenulum separating the alveolar portion of the maxillary palatine suture with hypoplastic left heart syndrome in one fetus and seven children. A hypertrophic frenulum was not found in 25 pediatric cardiology patients without hypoplastic left heart syndrome. This finding may provide a marker for suspecting hypoplastic left heart syndrome in the neonate.
