Mandibulofacial Dysostosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Mandibulofacial dysostosis is a developmental abnormality of the facial bones present from birth, which especially affects the jaw, the cheekbones, and, at times, the ears and eyelids.
How it shows up: you may notice a small chin, underdeveloped cheekbones, a particular eye shape, and, sometimes, difficulty breathing or feeding in the first months of life.
Origin: it has a genetic component that influences the formation of facial structures during pregnancy.
Which specialist treats it? Its care is usually coordinated between the maxillofacial surgeon, who assesses the bony structures of the face, and the pediatrician, who monitors the child's overall development. If you notice facial features that raise concerns, it is worth bringing them up with these professionals for a proper evaluation.
