Abstract

Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) presents a complex congenital anomaly characterized by the asymmetric underdevelopment of facial structures, predominantly affecting the ear, mouth, and mandible on one side of the face. This case study examines the intricacies of HFM through the presentation of a 23-year-old female with congenital deformities of the left ear and mandibular hypoplasia. Clinical and radiological evaluations revealed significant facial malformations, including mandibular hypoplasia, left temporomandibular joint fusion, and maxillary abnormalities, confirming the diagnosis of HFM. Management of HFM necessitates a multidisciplinary approach involving otolaryngologists, maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontists, and audiologists to comprehensively address functional and aesthetic concerns. Early diagnosis and intervention, along with psychosocial support, are essential for optimizing outcomes and improving the quality of life for individuals with HFM.
