Hemifacial microsomia: a clinicoradiographic report of a case
Authors
Abstract:
Hemifacial microsomia is a rare congenital malformation of craniofacial structures. Its characteristic features are unilateral underdevelopment of the face and ear malformations. This study describes clinical and radiographical features of a rare case of a 4-year-old hemifacial microsomia patient with underdevelopment of the left side of the face and preauricular skin tags on the affected side. Management of these patients requires a multidisciplinary approach to provide the most effective and appropriate treatment.

Treatment of Hemifacial Microsomia: A Case Report
Introduction: Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a branchial arch syndrome and the second most common craniofacial birth defect after cleft lip and palate. This syndrome involves the facial skeleton and ear. The most important goal in treatment of HFM is to improve facial symmetry. Traditionally, segment repositioning and costochondral graft were used for the correction of mandibular asymmetry but ...

BACKGROUND Hemifacial microsomia is a congenital malformation characterized by deficiency in the amount of hard and soft tissue on one side of the face. It is primarily a syndrome of the first branchial arch, involving underdevelopment of the temporomandibular joint, masticatory muscles, mandibular ramus, ear and, occasionally, defects in facial nerve and muscles. CASE DETAILS The clinical an...

Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a condition in which the lower half of one side of the face is underdeveloped and does not grow in a normal pattern. After clefts, this is the second most common facial birth defect. Etiology of HFM is unknown, but prenatal exposures of some drugs and genetic abnormalities may be associated with the condition. Diagnosis and treatment of HFM is challenging due to a...
