Abstract EN
Hemifacial hyperplasia is a rare congenital malformation characterized by noticeable unilateral excess development of hard and soft tissues of the face.
Asymmetry in Congenital Hemifacial Hyperplasia (CHH) is usually evident at birth and accentuated at the age of puberty.
The affected side grows exponentially as compared to the unaffected side.
Multiple tissue involvement has resulted due to etiological heterogeneity like heredity, chromosomal abnormalities, altered intrauterine environment, and endocrine dysfunctions.
As this lesion is rarely seen in our routine clinical practice, we present a case of hemifacial hyperplasia with reported orofacial features that supplement existing clinical knowledge.
This paper also adds knowledge to the readers regarding detailed investigation procedures which has complemented our diagnosis.
Further emphasis has been placed on periodic approach to its diagnosis and multidisciplinary management following correct diagnosis.
