title: Le Fort III distraction osteogenesis of midface-retrusion in a case of Hajdu Cheny syndrome.
abstract: Le Fort III maxillary distraction osteogenesis using the RED system and advancement genioplasty was successfully performed for the midfacial retrusion and to eliminate severe snoring during sleep in a rare case of Hajdu Cheny syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by slowly progressive systemic osseous dysplasia, exhibiting craniofacial disfigurements and other skeletal deformity, but no description is found in a plastic surgical treatment up to now. A rare entity of this syndrome is also presented.
