title: [Growth: responses to pathology. Preliminary study].
abstract: Many pathologies involve face. Among them, many have craniofacial growth consequences. The authors' aims are to analyze some of these pathologies, where clinical observations emphasize the role of the different craniofacial growth patterns. Despite a complex relation between the malformative part and the deformative one, untreated observations provide a better understanding of some craniofacial growth defects. Syndromes can be classified in 4 categories, involving the primitive causes of the clinical finding: 1. organic abnormalities of one or many functional matrix, 2. localized abnormalities of the anatomical structures, 3. general abnormalities of the conjunctive tissue, 4. mixed syndromes. Many observations will presented.
