To compare the facial asymmetry after bimaxillary surgery between mild craniofacial microsomia (CFM) and non-syndromic class II asymmetry....
Cone-beam computed tomography scans of adults with Pruzansky-Kaban types I and IIA CFM (CFM groups, n = 20), non-syndromic skeletal class II asymmetry (Class II group, n = 20), and normal controls (co...
There were no significant postoperative differences in the hemi-facial and hemi-jaw area asymmetry between CFM and Class II groups, both of which were significantly larger than the control group. No s...
The vertical contour asymmetry of mild CFM was significantly larger than non-CFM class II after surgery, while the area asymmetry, midline deviation, cants, and sagittal contour asymmetry of lower fac...
Be aware that correcting vertical asymmetry of contour, lip, and dentition in CFM is still challenging....
We aimed to describe facial directional asymmetry (DA) in individuals with different manifestations of laterality. Due to the overlap between brain and face development, a relationship between the man...
Symmetry is a fundamental biological concept in all living organisms. It is related to a variety of physical and social traits ranging from genetic background integrity and developmental stability to ...
Intracranial arachnoid cysts are cystic congenital malformations, filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) originating from the arachnoid membrane. Generally, giant arachnoid cysts present with symptoms ...
In an 18-month-old male infant admitted with ptosis, left frontal bulging and a dystopic globe with ptosis of the left upper lid were noted. The left half of the facial region and the left nostril als...
Ptosis cases accompanied by abnormalities such as optic disc coloboma and facial asymmetry should be evaluated for possible midline defects and intracranial pathologies prior to eyelid surgery....
We aimed to establish a novel method for automatically constructing three-dimensional (3D) median sagittal plane (MSP) for mandibular deviation patients, which can increase the efficiency of aesthetic...
Forty patients with mandibular deviation were recruited, and the Procrustes analysis (PA) algorithm based on the original mirror alignment and EWPA algorithm developed in this study were used to const...
The angle errors of the MSP constructed by the two EWPA and PA algorithms for the 40 patients were 1.39 ± 0.85°, 1.39 ± 0.78°, and 1.91 ± 0.80°, respectively. The two EWPA algorithms performed best in...
The clinical application of the EWPA algorithm based on 3D facial morphological analysis for constructing a 3D facial MSP for patients with mandibular deviated facial asymmetry deformity showed a sign...
The level of fluctuating asymmetry is suggested as a putative signal of developmental stability, thus according to this theoretical framework more symmetric individuals should be in better biological ...
Data were collected from 164 postmenopausal Polish women. Facial photographs were taken and the overall facial asymmetry (OFA) was calculated. The associations between the OFA and reproductive paramet...
There was a statistically significant relationship between the OFA and the number of children born, which was mediated by the age at first reproduction (p = 0.03), however, the size of the effect was ...
As fluctuating asymmetry is suggested to be established in utero, these findings shed light on the possible life-long importance of developmental conditions in shaping women's reproductive potential a...
The aim of this study was to find out how the preferred chewing side (PCS) affects facial asymmetry, what kind of factors affect PCS, and whether there are differences in facial asymmetry between symm...
The study included 748 subjects (females n=452, males n=296) born in 1985-1986 in Northern Finland (Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986, NFBC 1986). Subjects' faces were captured in facial 3D images wi...
Reduced number of teeth on contralateral side affects PCS (OR = 2.44 in the case of one tooth is missing). Being female increased the whole face and lower face symmetry (p values <0.001-0.824). Self-r...
Females have a more symmetrical face compared to males. PCS does not have a statistically significant effect on facial asymmetry, but the variable affecting PCS itself is extracted teeth....
Patients with facial asymmetry often seek improved symmetry in lower face contour resulting in transverse movement of the proximal segments. The study aimed to investigate the association between tran...
This retrospective cohort study includes consecutive patients with skeletal Class III asymmetry who underwent 2-jaw orthognathic surgery. The primary predictor variable was ramus plane angle (RPA). Th...
The study sample was composed of 60 subjects with 30 subjects in each study group. In the S group, the mean surgical changes of RPA were inward rotated 0.91° bilaterally. In the L group, the mean surg...
Greater surgical changes in the proximal segments had minor clinical effect on transverse stability. Minor transverse overcorrection of 1 mm is recommended in cases with severe facial symmetry with ex...
To investigate whether abnormal head posture (AHP) induces changes in common carotid artery blood flow (CCBF), thereby leading to the development of facial asymmetry in the setting of strabismus and o...
This was a prospective observational study of pediatric subjects in an urban ophthalmology clinic who underwent bilateral carotid artery ultrasound examination with spectral Doppler in an upright, str...
Seventeen subjects were enrolled, and 34 carotid arteries were assessed. There was no significant difference between upright, straight-head position and head tilt in ipsilateral (7.8 ± 1.8 mL/s vs 7.5...
CCBF does not fluctuate with AHP and thus does not appear to be the etiology for facial asymmetry in strabismus....
The study aimed (1) to evaluate the site and severity of facial asymmetry in Class III patients before and after bimaxillary surgery, and (2) to identify the influence of initial severity and position...
Preoperative and postoperative cone-beam computed tomography of 65 patients with Class III facial asymmetry who underwent bimaxillary surgery were evaluated. Five midline and 14 paramedian facial soft...
Before surgery, the asymmetry was more severe at the chin, middle and lower contour. Bimaxillary surgery effectively corrected facial asymmetry, particularly in achieving normalization of chin deviati...
Deviation of the chin, middle and lower contour contributed significantly to overall facial asymmetry in Class III asymmetry. Despite normalization of the chin deviation after bimaxillary surgery, asy...
Understanding the residual asymmetry after bimaxillary surgery is important for minimizing deviation and optimizing the surgical planning for its correction....
