Abstract:
Congenital malformations of the craniofacial region represent an important class of human developmental disorders. Abnormalities of speech and hearing frequently occur in this vast array of conditions. Knowledge of the diagnostic criteria, genetics, and natural history of these conditions is important for audiologists and speech-language pathologists because of their close involvement with the children and families in their care-providing role. Awareness of the important distinction between individuals with isolated defects vs. individuals who have their facial defect as part of a syndrome is important in diagnosis and management. Referral for genetic counseling is always indicated in families who have questions about these issues. The dysmorphologist, genetics professional, and speech-language pathologists are among those who play key roles in the care of persons with these disorders.

Overview of the Skull
The cranial vault surrounds and protects the brain and houses the middle and inner ear structures. This cavity is bounded superiorly by the rounded top of the skull, which...
Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
