title: Multi-facial anomalies in mandibulofacial dysostosis. A report of three cases.
abstract: Mandibulofacial dysostosis is readily recognized on the basis of a characteristic facial appearance caused by hard and soft tissue abnormalities of the face, including malformations of the ear. Generally, the abnormality is symmetrical. The psychological and social stigma associated with severe facial deformity makes this syndrome one of the most challenging reconstructive problems presented to the craniomaxillofacial surgeon.
