Craniofacial microsomia covers a set of morphogenetic anomalies that affect structures arising from the first and second brachial arches. Due to the vast phenotypic variation and complexity of the malformation, a global treatment that is coordinated by a multidisciplinary team is imperative. Herein, the authors describe 3 clinical patients and discuss the different therapies used according to the type of microsomia present. It was concluded that early and integrated treatment, which considers all the affected and potentially affected soft and hard tissue, is needed, and that patients must be monitored until they have finished growing.
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.
