Craniofacial Anomalies

What is a Craniofacial Anomaly?

Craniofacial anomalies are birth defects of the skull and face. Thousands of children are born with them each year. The most common of these birth defects are cleft lip and/or cleft palate, which occur in approximately one out of every 700 births. In addition, we provide diagnosis and treatment for Pierre Robin Sequence/Stickler Syndrome, Hemifacial Microsomia (OAV Spectrum), Crouzon/Pfeiffer/Apert Syndromes, facial clefts such as Hypertelorism and Treacher Collins Syndrome and other dental, speech and cranial abnormalities.
