Congenital hypoplasia or absence of the depressor anguli oris muscle is a minor congenital anomaly causing asymmetrical crying facies (ACF). The interesting aspect of this abnormality lies in the frequently associated abnormalities. Cardiac, urogenital, musculoskeletal, respiratory and cervicofacial defects have been described in cases with ACF. Therefore it is suggested that ACF can be used as an index of other congenital malformations. We report three cases with ACF who had varied congenital anormalites.
先天性口角降肌发育不全或缺失是一种导致不对称哭泣面容（ACF）的轻微先天性异常。这种异常有趣的方面在于其常常伴有其他异常。在ACF病例中已描述了心脏、泌尿生殖、肌肉骨骼、呼吸及头颈部面部缺陷。因此，有人提出ACF可作为其他先天性畸形的一个指标。我们报告了3例患有ACF且伴有各种先天性异常的病例。
