| Popis: | Congenital hypoplasia of depressor angularis oris muscle (CHDAOM) is an uncommon cause of asymmetric crying facies in neonates. Although its etiology is mostly unknown, it has been increasingly recognized as a marker for the presence of other less easily identifiable congenital abnormalities associated with genetic syndromes such as DiGeorge and Cayler syndrome. We report a unique case of a male neonate that highlights the necessity of judicious and accurate clinical documentation with the presence of CHDAOM to avoid unnecessary forms of subsequent work-up. |
