Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds.  I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

If this defect does not cause any harm to the wife nor does it prevent her from full enjoyment, then it is not an obligation to inform her about it before marrying her.

For more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 92006.

Allaah Knows best.
