A Rare Case of Hemifacial Hypertrophy- Orthodontic Perspective
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Hemifacial hyperptrophy is a rare congenital malformation characterized by unilateral excess development of hard and soft tissues of the face. Hemifacial Hypertrophy (HFH) is usually evident at birth and accentuates during puberty. It stabilizes once growth ceases. Asymmetry is a law of nature but when it exceeds a certain limit it is disfiguring to facial aesthetic. Hemihypertrophy is one such condition where there is marked asymmetry of entire half of body or face which causes marked facial deformity which leaves a major impact on childs psychology. There are very few cases reported in the literature.
