What is Facial Deformities?

Facial deformities are likely related to a series of changes that ripple through the endocranial base and vault secondary to the synostosis of lambdoid suture. Due to the anterior displacement of the glenoid fossa on the affected side, the chin is deviated toward the contralateral side.

  • Changes in feeling over the face.
  • Deformed or uneven face or facial bones.
  • Difficulty breathing through the nose due to swelling and bleeding.
  • Double vision.
  • Missing teeth.
  • Swelling or bruising around the eyes that may cause vision problems.

Facial injuries can be associated with: Airway damage: A broken nose or other fractures and swelling can injure the nasal passageways and make it difficult for a person to breathe. Neurological problems: Facial injuries can be associated with head trauma that can have an impact on the skull and brain.

The origins of most deformities lie in the bony skeleton. They may be either congenital or acquired. In the congenital deformities, form, size and function are disturbed during the course of development, whereas in the acquired deformities parts of the face are lost by surgery or trauma.

In conclusion, it is evident that both cleft lip and palate have the highest prevalence (110, or 42%) of facial malformations, and parental consanguinity (209, or 80.7%) is one of the leading factors associated with increased risk of facial malformations

Apert's syndrome, which is a rare bone formation disease, comes from a single mutation on a single gene. Treacher Collins and Crouzon's syndromes have identifiable genetic causes as well, with mutations on chromosomes 5 and 8 respectively. Moebius' syndrome is not inherited but is the result of a rare genetic mutation.

How is it diagnosed?

Facial Defects due to Vascular Malformations can be treated either by laser therapy (capillary malformations or port wine stains), embolization (arterial malformations) or by direct injection of a sclerosing, (clotting) medicine (venous malformations).
