A reference to a type of otocephalus characterized by partially fused eyes in a single orbit (cyclopia), a proboscis above the fused eye orbit, no mouth, a defective lower jaw, and synotia.

Synotia refers to the fusion or abnormal approximation of the lobes of the ears in otocephaly (the malformation characterized by a markedly defective development of the lower jaw (micrognathia [abnormal smallness of the jaws] or agnathia [congenital absence of the lower jaw, usually accompanied by approximation of the ears]) and the union or close approach of the ears [synotia] on the front of the neck).
