“…It may be unilateral or bilateral, partial or complete extending up to tragus, and isolated or associated with syndromes. Treacher-collins syndrome and hemifacial microsomia [7] are frequently associated with macrostomia [8]. Problems associated with macrostomia include aesthetic disharmony and functional problems like feeding difficulties, drooling, speech incoherence, and difficulty in blowing.…”

Macrostomia is a congenital deformity resulting from failure of fusion of maxillary and mandibular process. It is a rare congenital deformity with an incidence of 1 in 60,000 to 1 in 300,000 live births. Transverse facial clefts are more common on right side of face in unilateral cases. Males are more affected than females. Various surgical techniques have been described in the literature for the correction of these defects. We report a case of macrostomia corrected with Z-plasty closure for skin, overlapping muscle closure, and triangular mucosal flap for commissure, with a review on existing techniques.

“…Complications observed with surgical techniques include asymmetric closure, hypertrophic scar, drooping of oral commissure, and fish mouth deformity resulting from flaccid commissure. One should consider the symmetry both in vertical and in horizontal plane as improper techniques might result in asymmetry [8]. …”

“…[1][2][3] The prevalence is higher in men than in women, and it is more common on the left side than on the right side. [4][5][6][7] Although macrostomia can occur alone, it also coexists with certain syndromes in most cases, such as craniofacial microsomia (CFM), Lenz syndrome, Treacher Collins syndrome, and Hallermann-Streiff syndrome. 8 Craniofacial microsomia is a congenital illness, also known as first and second brachial arch syndrome, ear-mandibular dysplasia, and Goldenhar syndrome; it has an average incidence of 1/5600 live birth.…”

Macrostomia is arare congenital craniofacial deformity that influences the appearance and function of patients. In most cases, it coexists with craniomaxillofacial deformities such as craniofacial microsomia (CFM). This study aimed to analyze the relationship between macrostomia and mandibular hypoplasia so as to facilitate the early detection and diagnosis of children with CFM. It included 236 patients diagnosed with CFM. All underwent facial expression analysis, multi-angle photography, computed tomography, and three-dimensional reconstruction of soft and hard tissues. The clinical classification was performed according to OMENSþ. Spearman (rank) correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the severity of macrostomia (C1 and C2) and the degree of mandibular involvement (M1, M2a, M2b, and M3), and the correlation among the components of OMENSþ. Of the 80 cases of macrostomia (34%) reported, 72 cases (90%) were C1 and 8 (10%) were C2. The analysis of OMENSþ revealed significant correlations among OMENSþ components. Also, a high correlation was observed between macrostomia (C) and hypoplasia of the mandible (M) (P ¼ 0.002). Macrostomia was closely related to mandibular hypoplasia among children diagnosed with CFM. These results suggested that patients with macrostomia, who might also have craniofacial malformations caused by other first branchial arch anomalies, should be comprehensively physically examined for other syndromes.
