Congenital Facial Anomalies

Congenital deformities affect the face and the upper and lower jaws. This includes children who have craniofacial deformities such as Apert’s, Crouzon’s, and Treacher-Collins, Pierre Robin Complex, hemifacial microsomia, etc. Initial treatment of these children focuses on their ability to breathe and eat normally. Some of these infants will need a tracheotomy and possibly a feeding tube.
