Craniofacial and intraoral manifestations of congenital hemifacial hyperplasia: report of case.
The craniofacial and intraoral developmental and morphologic characteristics of the rare congenital disorder known as hemifacial hyperplasia are reviewed. The case of a 7.7-year-old Caucasian girl affected by this malformation is presented to corroborate and supplement existing clinical knowledge regarding hemifacial hyperplasia. Suggestions are made regarding the implications of early differential diagnosis and treatment planning of affected individuals. Special emphasis is placed on the advantage of multidisciplinary team management.
