Craniofacial abnormality

Human skull

Craniofacial abnormalities are congenital musculoskeletal disorders which primarily affect the cranium and facial bones.^[1]

They are associated with the development of the pharyngeal arches.^[2] Approximately, 5% of the UK or USA population present with dentofacial deformities requiring Orthognathic surgery, jaw surgery, and Orthodontics, brace therapy, as a part of their definitive treatment.^[3]^[4]^[5]

Notable conditions

[edit | edit source]

Platybasia
Arrhinia - absence of the nose
Craniosynostosis - premature fusion of the cranial sutures
Cyclopia - one eye
Mobius syndrome - paralysis of the facial muscles
