Asymmetric Crying Face: A Rare Congenital Malformation

Year 2018, Volume: 15 Issue: 1, 38 - 40, 01.01.2018

Abstract

Congenital asymmetric crying face ACF is a minor congenital anomaly resulting from the unilateral agenesis or hypoplasia of the muscle depressor anguli oris and imitating unilateral peripheral facial nerve paralysis. The incidence is between 0.3-1% and it is often seen as an isolated anomaly although many associated major cardiovascular, cervicofacial, musculoskeletal, respiratory, genitourinary and central nervous system anomalies have been defined. Because ACF is frequently confused with peripheral facial nerve paralysis due to birth trauma; history, physical examination, detailed investigation for associated malformations and long-term follow-up is crucial. Here we present a 23-days-old term infant whom was diagnosed as ACF after attracting our attention with the downward sliding of the corner of her mouth during crying. With the presentation of this case report, we aimed to review the clinical features and differential diagnosis of ACF among neurological and genetic disorders of the neonate.

Asimetrik Ağlayan Yüz: Ender Bir Doğumsal Malformasyon

Year 2018, Volume: 15 Issue: 1, 38 - 40, 01.01.2018

Abstract

Doğumsal asimetrik ağlayan yüz AAY depresor anguli oris kasının tek taraflı agenezisi ya da hipoplazisi sonucu oluşan ve fasiyal sinirin tek taraflı periferik paralizisini andıran minör bir doğumsal anomalidir. Sıklığı % 0,3-1 arasında değişen ve çoğunlukla izole bir anomali olarak kliniğe yansıyan AAY’ün başta kardiyovasküler sistem malformasyonları olmak üzere servikofasiyal, kas-iskelet, solunum, genitoüriner ve santral sinir sistemine ait pek çok majör anomaliyle de birlikteliği tanımlanmıştır. Sıklıkla doğum travmasına bağlı periferik tipte fasiyal sinir felci ile karıştırılan AAY için öykü, fizik muayene, asosiye malformasyonlar açısından detaylı tetkik ve uzun süreli izlem çok önemlidir. Burada postnatal 23. gününde ağlama sırasında ağız köşesinin aşağı kayması ile dikkat çekip AAY tanısı koyulan bir term yenidoğan olgusu sunulmuştur. Bu olgu sunumu ile hastalığın klinik özelliklerinin ve yenidoğanın nörolojik ve genetik hastalıkları arasındaki ayırıcı tanısının gözden geçirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
