Hemifacial microsomia – a literature review

Renata Turska-Malińska, Dorota Cudziło

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

Hemifacial microsomia is a congenital syndrome of the I and II branchial arches caracterized by asymmetrical hypoplasia of the facial skeleton (mandible, maxilla, temporomandibular joint, zygoma, temporal bone), external and middle ear and facial soft tissues. The phenotype may be variable, including additional craniofacial and general anomalies. The treatment in most cases is long-lasting and interdisciplinary.
