Campomelic dysplasia (CMPD) is a skeletal disorder resulting from SOX9 gene mutations. Palatoplasty is rare due to a high lethality rate in infants from respiratory distress. Our patient had characteristic symptoms of CMPD, including short bowed limbs, macrocephaly, low-set ears, short palpebral fissures, hypertelorism, a flat nasal bridge, a long philtrum, micrognathia, and a cleft palate. We performed a Furlow palatoplasty when the patient was 2 years 9 months of age, after respiratory conditions had stabilized. We reviewed the literature of CMPD cases that underwent palatoplasty and discussed the optimal timing and surgical methods.
