title: [Congenital anotia with hemifacial atrophy (a report of 12 cases)].
abstract: Twelve cases of congenital anotia with hemifacial atrophy were examined and analyzed with electromyogram and roentgenography. The results revealed that the development of the deformed side of the face was 30% less than the other side. Because both the soft tissue and the skeleton of the deformed side are undeveloped, they should be dealt with simultaneously.
