Abstract
Congenital hemifacial hyperplasia (CHFH) is a rare congenital malformation characterized by marked unilateral overdevelopment of the hard and soft tissues of the head and face region. The exact etiology is not clear; it is usually evident at birth and increases with age , mostly till puberty. In some cases multiple systems are involved. Treatment is usually indicated in cases where esthetics is a concern. A 6 year old female reported to theDepartment of Oral Medicine and Radiology with the features of congenital hemifacial hyperplasia , we are making an attempt to present a rare case of CHFH in order to highlight the clinical manifestations and treatment options.
