Hemifacial dysplasia

Introduction On the developing side, the face develops retardation until the adult shows facial asymmetry, that is, one side of the face is fuller than the opposite side.

Cause

It has a certain heritability and is present in many normal people; some congenital diseases, such as the semi-lateral short syndrome, can cause severe facial dysplasia with auricle deformity, around 6 years old. A series of plastic treatments must be initiated; facial trauma in children, isotope treatment of facial hemangioma, poor chewing habits, and tooth deformities can all lead to developmental disorders on one side of the face and facial asymmetry in adults.

1. Lateral atrophy is a progressive disease that develops slowly and is more common in children. Skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, cartilage, bones, and mucous membranes can all shrink, with subcutaneous fat and muscle atrophy being most obvious.

2, lateral short syndrome: in the clinical manifestations of short facial deformity, may involve multiple anatomical sites and varying degrees of severity, manifested as short lateral part, weak subcutaneous soft tissue, ankle deviation, facial nerve dysplasia, Transverse and external ear malformations.

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis of semi-lateral dysplasia:

1, traumatic facial asymmetry deformity: severe trauma may lead to necrosis or scarring of subcutaneous fat tissue of facial skin, facial bone fractures can not be treated with reduction, facial deformity will occur after healing. With the development of the transportation industry, there is an increasing trend of deformities caused by such causes.

2, the deformity of the tumor after surgical resection: if the tumor is removed at the same time if the plastic surgery is not available, the face will appear various tissue defects or organ displacement and facial deformity.

3, lateral atrophy is a slow-developing progressive disease, more common in children. Skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, cartilage, bones, and mucous membranes can all shrink, with subcutaneous fat and muscle atrophy being most obvious.

4, lateral short syndrome: in the clinical manifestations of half face short deformity, can involve multiple anatomical sites and varying degrees of severity, manifested as short side of the affected side, weak subcutaneous soft tissue, ankle deviation, facial nerve dysplasia, Transverse and external ear malformations.
