Macrostomia as a rare facial deformity is classified among facial clefts. It is a rare congenital anomaly which affects the aesthetics and function of the oral cavity. It is usually associated with deformities of other structures developed from the first and second branchial arches. Bilateral transverse cleft occurring alone is uncommon. Here we report a case of bilateral macrostomia (bilateral lip cleft) in a 5-year-old girl as a sole entity without other skeletal and facial deformities.
巨口症作为一种罕见的面部畸形,被归类于面部裂隙。它是一种罕见的先天性异常,会影响口腔的美观和功能。它通常与由第一和第二鳃弓发育而来的其他结构的畸形相关。单独出现的双侧横向裂隙并不常见。在此,我们报告一例5岁女孩单纯性双侧巨口症(双侧唇裂),无其他骨骼和面部畸形。
