Abstrakt: Pontine tegmental cap dysplasia (PTCD) is a rare condition that affects the brain stem and multiple cranial nerves, which can result in bilateral facial palsies, hearing loss, bilateral trigeminal nerve dysfunction, oculomotor apraxia, feeding difficulties, seizures, hypotonia, and undeveloped speech. We document a case in which a patient with PTCD presents with a challenging lip deformity and requires multidisciplinary treatment to improve reconstructive surgical success and treatment outcomes. An extensive literature review was conducted. This report serves to increase awareness of PTCD and the need for multidisciplinary teams to participate in reconstruction of facial defects in a complex medical setting.
