List both parent entry and its child entry
This is the corrected Twig code. I simply added {{ entry.title }} as an &lt;li&gt; item. This nav appears only on the page that I needed entry.title displaying.

{% set navList = (entry.level == 2) ? entry : entry.getAncestors().level(2).first()  %}

{% if navList.hasDescendants %}

    &lt;ul&gt;
        {% set nav =  navList.getDescendants()  %}
        &lt;li&gt;{{ entry.title }}&lt;/li&gt;
        {% nav page in nav  %}
            {% if page.id != entry.id %}
                &lt;li&gt;{{ page.getLink() }}&lt;/li&gt;
            {% else %}
                &lt;li&gt;{{page}}&lt;/li&gt;
            {% endif %}
        {% ifchildren %}
            &lt;ul&gt;
                {% children %}
            &lt;/ul&gt;
        {% endifchildren %}
        {% endnav %}
    &lt;/ul&gt;

{% endif %}
