title: MRI of unilateral facial hypertrophy.
abstract: Unilateral hypertrophy of facial muscles is an uncommon phenomenon with few reported cases in the worldwide literature. The few that have been reported have usually been associated with accompanying disease processes and clinical findings. In this paper, we describe a case of idiopathic hemihypertrophy of facial muscles and the MRI findings which were seen in this case.
