Abstract :
Hemifacial Microsomia is a developmental craniofacial anomaly typically displaying reduced growth and development of half of the face as a result of abnormal development of first and second branchial arches. The patients with Hemifacial Microsomia usually exhibit unilateral involvement of the face but occasionally might involve both the sides. Cases which show vertebral anomalies and epibulbar dermoids have been considered to form a separate category within this condition. The condition is now known to be extremely complex and heterogenous. Here we present a case of Hemifacial Microsomia with its characteristic clinical and radiographic features that will help us in diagnosing and differentiating this rare entity from other closely related syndromes.
