“…External ear abnormalities may be very mild as a flattened helical rim or severe as complete absence of the auricle; stenosis or atresia of the external auditory canal. It is common to see conductive hearing loss as a result of external and middle ear malformations in HFM patient (17).…”

Treatment of Hemifacial Microsomia: A Case Report

Introduction: Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a branchial arch syndrome and the second most common craniofacial birth defect after cleft lip and palate. This syndrome involves the facial skeleton and ear. The most important goal in treatment of HFM is to improve facial symmetry. Traditionally, segment repositioning and costochondral graft were used for the correction of mandibular asymmetry but recently distraction osteogenesis has been used for it. Case Presentation: In this article an 8-year-old boy with HFM is presented. He was treated with functional appliance for one year and then at 9 years age distraction osteogenesis was performed for him and at the age of 18, maxillary impaction (right side: 3mm, left side: 13 mm), BSSO of mandible and reduction genioplasty were done for the functional and esthetic reconstruction of the face. Conclusions: Satisfactory results were obtained in the patient.

“…12 Congenital facial palsy is also a frequent finding in other conditions involving malformations caused by early pregnancy incidents, such as Goldenhar syndrome and 'CHARGE' syndrome (the latter comprising coloboma, heart abnormalities, retardation of growth and/ or development, and genital and ear anomalies). [13][14][15][16][17] Five individuals (16 per cent) in the present study had a previous diagnosis of facial palsy, and one had bilaterally incomplete facial movements because of Parkinson's disease. Three individuals (10 per cent) had an acquired facial palsy, of whom two already had congenital nerve palsy on the opposite side.…”

Background: Earlier studies have shown that individuals with thalidomide embryopathy can have skeletal deformities, ear and eye aberrations, and facial palsy. This study aimed to survey the frequency and characteristics of facial palsy in this group of individuals.Participants: Thirty-one individuals with thalidomide embryopathy (age range, 45-47 years) and 25 healthy adults (age range, 41-56 years; mean age ± standard deviation, 49 ± 4.2 years).Main outcome measures: Voluntary facial movements, lip force and three-dimensional lip motion analysis. Results and conclusion: Four of the thalidomide embryopathy individuals (13 per cent) had congenital facial palsy. All four had eye aberrations, three had ear anomalies and one had a limb anomaly. Individuals with thalidomide embryopathy without a clinical diagnosis of facial impairment had significantly weaker lips and more restricted lip mobility than healthy controls. This study contributes to the overall knowledge of thalidomide embryopathy by adding a description of how facial expression can be affected in this condition.

“…Hearing disturbance or malformation of the external auditive meatus were not observed (13) nor was dysfunction of the facial nerve, which prevalence is high (14). Renal problems commonly associated to malformations of the ears (15) were not diagnosed.…”

Goldenhar's syndrome: case report

et al. 2003

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Goldenhar's syndrome is a rare condition described initially in the early 1950's. It is characterized by a combination of anomalies: dermal epibulbar cysts, auricular appendices and malformation of the ears. In 1963, Gorlin suggested the name oculo-auriculo-vertebral (OAV) dysplasia for this condition and also included vertebral anomalies as signs of the syndrome. The etiology of this rare disease is not fully understood, as it has shown itself variable genetically and of unclear causes. This work reports a case of Goldenhar's syndrome in an 11-year-old female, who presented all classical signs of this rare condition

Auditory and Facial Nerve Dysfunction in Patients With Hemifacial Microsomia

Abstract: Sensorineural hearing loss and facial nerve dysfunction are common in HFM. These findings have important implications in the treatment of patients with HFM.
