Mandibulofacial dysostosis is readily recognized on the basis of a characteristic facial appearance caused by hard and soft tissue abnormalities of the face, including malformations of the ear. Generally, the abnormality is symmetrical. The psychological and social stigma associated with severe facial deformity makes this syndrome one of the most challenging reconstructive problems presented to the craniomaxillofacial surgeon.
下颌面骨发育不全很容易根据面部硬组织和软组织异常所导致的特征性面容来识别，这些异常包括耳部畸形。一般来说，这种异常是对称的。与严重面部畸形相关的心理和社会耻辱感使得该综合征成为颅颌面外科医生面临的最具挑战性的重建问题之一。
