Hemifacial hypertrophy is a rare condition characterized by unilateral enlargement of all tissues of the face. We describe three patients who exhibit hemifacial hyperplasia of the muscles of facial expression with no other organ system involvement. These three cases, in addition to six other cases identified in the literature, describe a unique constellation of characteristics that place these patients into a distinct syndrome. We suggest that the term "hemifacial myohyperplasia" be used to describe this specific and unique condition.
半侧颜面肥大是一种罕见病症，其特征为面部所有组织的单侧增大。我们描述了三名表现为面部表情肌半侧增生且无其他器官系统受累的患者。这三例病例，连同文献中鉴定出的其他六例病例，描述了一组独特的特征，将这些患者归入一种独特的综合征。我们建议使用“半侧颜面肌增生症”这一术语来描述这种特殊且独特的病症。
