Background  We present one unusual case of anophthalmia and craniofacial cleft, probably due to congenital toxoplasmosis only.    Case presentation  A two-month-old male had a twin in utero who disappeared between the 7 th  and the 14 th  week of gestation. At birth, the baby presented anophthalmia and craniofacial cleft, and no sign compatible with genetic or exposition/deficiency problems, like the Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome or maternal vitamin A deficiency. Congenital toxoplasmosis was confirmed by the presence of IgM abs and IgG neo-antibodies in western blot, as well as by real time PCR in blood. CMV infection was also discarded by PCR and IgM negative results. Structures suggestive of  T. gondii  pseudocysts were observed in a biopsy taken during the first functional/esthetic surgery.    Conclusions  We conclude that this is a rare case of anophthalmia combined with craniofacial cleft due to congenital toxoplasmosis, that must be considered by physicians. This has not been reported before.
