“…Leftsided predominance was first observed by Pape and Pickering [1972]. Similar findings have been reported in other series [Perlman and Reisner, 1973;Papadatos et al, 1974;Alexiou et al, 1976], and commented on by Perlman and Reisner [1973]. The reason for this striking tendency is not known.…”

“…1) were examined between February 1985-January 1996. All cases were diagnosed according to the clinical criteria similar to those described in other studies [McHugh et al, 1979;Perlman and Reisner 1973]. Fourteen children, whose age ranged from 9 months to 11 years, were gathered from our pediatric clinic.…”

“…Subsequently, Hoefnagel and Penery [1960] and McHugh et al [1969] reported the weakness and agenesis of DAOM in young children. The incidence of this anomaly, estimated in a prospective survey of consecutive births [Perlman and Reisner, 1973;Papadatos et al, 1974;Singhi et al, 1980], varied from 0.63-0.82%. Cayler [1969] reported an association between hypoplasia of DAOM and congenital heart disease, and coined the term ''cardiofacial syndrome.''…”

Frequency of associated anomalies in congenital hypoplasia of depressor anguli oris muscle: A study of 50 patients

Aside from congenital heart disease, anomalies associated with unilateral hypoplasia of the depressor anguli oris muscle have not been well-documented in large series. We evaluated the associated anomalies in 50 infants or children with this disorder (male:female = 2:1) and found accompanying anomalies in 35 (70%) of 50 cases. They included anomalies of the head and neck (48%), heart (44%), skeleton (22%), genitourinary tract (24%), central nervous system (10%), gastrointestinal tract (6%), and miscellaneous minor anomalies (8%). Nearly half of our cases (22/50) had at least 2 associated systemic anomalies. Failure to thrive and psychomotor retardation were found in 5 (10%) and 3 (6%) patients, respectively, on follow-up. Three infants died neonatally of severe heart disorders, and the other one died of central nervous system anomalies. The above findings indicate that a thorough search for associated anomalies, particularly in the cardiovascular system, should be performed in all newborns with asymmetric crying face.

“…Cayler [1969] later identified the association between ACF and cardiac anomalies, suggesting a ''cardiofacial syndrome.'' Thereafter, reports of other anomalies in infants with ACF indicated that the finding of ACF may serve as a marker of various congenital anomalies [Pape and Pickering, 1972;Perlman and Reisner, 1973;Papadatos et al, 1974;Alexiou et al, 1976;Lin et al, 1997;Lahat et al, 2000;Caksen et al, 2004]. However, these previous studies were descriptive and included only a small number of selected subjects of varying ages, which resulted in major inconsistencies of results.…”

Asymmetric crying face (ACF) is a minor anomaly found in 3-8 per 1,000 births, which may be associated with other anomalies. Previous studies on this topic included small groups of selected subjects, resulting in large variations in findings. The aim of this study was to examine the characteristics and associated anomalies of newborn infants with ACF compared with the general population of newborn infants. The study included newborn infants delivered between 1993 and 2003 at the Department of Neonatology of Rabin Medical Center, Israel. Charts of all newborns diagnosed with ACF were reviewed for obstetric and neonatal details, then compared with non-ACF newborns. ACF was diagnosed in 258 of 67,289 newborns (0.38%), with left-side predominance (77%). Major malformations were found in 7% of ACF infants, 3.5-fold higher than in the total Israeli population. Mild anomalies were present in 15% of the ACF group, and deformations in 4.6%. There was a higher rate of forceps deliveries in the ACF group (RR = 2.73, 95% CI = 1.37-5.42). ACF was more prevalent among females, and the male:female ratio was lower in the ACF group (0.86 vs. 1.06, P = 0.05). The rate of low-birth-weight infants was 3.9% among ACF infants and 9.6% in the control group (RR = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.23-0.76). No significant between-group difference was found for rates of primiparity, macrosomia, prematurity, postmaturity, or size-for-gestational-age. Thus, ACF is associated with a high rate of major malformations. This should prompt clinicians to seek for additional birth defects in ACF infants.

“…It is also known as congenital unilateral lower lip palsy, congenital hypoplasia of the depressor anguli oris muscle, and partial facial paralysis [6][7][8]. A wide variety of anomalies involving cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, skeletal, and central nervous systems may be seen in children with congenital hypoplasia of depressor anguli oris [9][10][11][12][13].…”

Asymmetric facial appearance may originate from abnormalities of facial musculature or facial innervation. Congenital absence or hypoplasia of facial muscles has not been known except for the depressor anguli oris muscle. Even, congenital unilateral hypoplasia of the orbicularis oris muscle cause of unilateral upper lip palsy has not been reported in the literature up to day. In this report, we present a patient with congenital unilateral upper lip palsy although the facial nerve was normal.
