Abstract

An infant whose face appears symmetrical at rest yet whose mouth is pulled downward to one side when crying is said to have an "asymmetric crying facies". The cause 'of the facial asymmetry in this disorder is congenital absence or hypoplasia of the depressor anguli oris muscle at the corner of the mouth. Associations of this minor facial defect with major congenital anomalies have been reported, most commonly in the cardiovascular system, less frequently involving the genitourinary, musculoskeletal, cervicofacial and respiratory systems and rarely, the central nervous system. In this article, a 40-day-old boy is presented with asymmetric crying facies associated with a malformed right ear, atrial septal defect, hemivertebra, thoracic scoliosis, and hemihypertrophy. To our knowledge, the last anomaly has not previously been published in association with asymmetric crying facies.

Özet

İstirahat sııasındaıyüzün normal görünümde olup, ağlarken asimetrik oluşuna "asimetrik ağlama yüzü" adı verilir. Fasiyal asimetrinin nedeni ağız köşesinde bulunan depresör anguli oris kasının konjenital yokluğu veya hipoplazisidir. Bu minor fasiyal defektin en sık kardiyovasküler system .olmak üzere genitoüriner, kas-iskelet, servikofasiyal, respiratuar ve seyrek olarak santral sinir sistemi ile ilgili major konjenital anomalilerle birlikte görülebildiği bilinmektedir. Bu makalede asimetrik ağlama yüzü ile birlikte sağ kulağında malformasyon, atrial septal defekt, hemivertebra, skolyoz ve hemihipertrofisi olan kırk günlük erkek bebek sunulmuştur. Saptayabildiğimiz kadarıyla simetrik ağlama yüzü ile birlikte hemihipertrofi literatürde daha önce tanımlanmamıştır.
