title: [Congenital facial hemiatrophy. Report of two pediatric cases].
abstract: In facial hemiatrophy two different types are known: the progressive acquired type, which is relatively more common, and the rare congenital non progressive form. Two children--both with congenital facial hemiatrophy--are presented, both showed a (horizontally and vertically) smaller lid fissure and antimongoloid configuration of the lid. In addition in one case we could observe: small corneal diameter, staphyloma posticum, paving stone degeneration of the retina, convergent strabismus, and vertical deviation, in the other case: ptosis, major astigmatism, and latent divergent strabismus.
