Abstract : Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a congenital anomaly characterized by an asymmetric facial defect in which the mandible and overlying structures fail to develop normally. HFM is also known by other names, including otomandibular dysostosis;1 first and second branchial arch syndrome;2,3 oculo-auriculovertebral sequence;4 Goldenhar syndrome;5,6 lateral facial dysplasia;7 and craniofacial microsomia.8,9 The prevalence of HFM is variously reported to be in the range of 1 in 3000 to 1 in 5600 births.10–13 Males have been reported to be more affected than females,14 and the right side of the face is affected more often than the left side (three times compared with two).15 The exact etiology of HFM is not fully understood. It has been reported from a murine study to be a developmental abnormality mainly due to hemorrhage and rupture of the stapedial artery (a small blood vessel near the ear).14,16 However, the results of experiments in mice cannot be extrapolated to humans, and there are no published reports indicating that intrauterine trauma or excessive motion of the mother might cause such a problem in humans. Although different classifications have been reported in the literature, the Pruzansky classification continues to be the HFM classification used most often by clinicians and researchers.
