In addition to neuromotor, cognitive, vision and hearing impairments, it is also possible to observe dental occlusion and maxillofacial changes in children with microcephaly diagnosis.

In this context, two clinical cases of teenage dizygotic twins will be presented, in which one had microcephaly, focusing on their oral and maxillofacial features.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
